    synthetic text, images, video and audio designed to look truthful must be visibly marked as AI-generated and contain a digital watermark to show the artificial origins of the content.

    Great! Basically the browsers could then just highlight or filter images that are AI generated based on the digital metadata. What would be important that all image generators put those metadata tags in, and all image manipulation software leaves then in by default. And that if you paste an image in some image tool, it copies the AI label.

    All this costs basically nothing and hurts nobody. It’s just adding and reading some metadata. And A LOT of the anger about not being able to tell what is real and what is not disappears. The responses are seriously silly

    And of course they then need to enforce this. You’ll still have images pretending to be real which are fake, but at least you can easily and quickly filter out the marked ones. Basically Brandolini’s law, it takes the viewer much more energy to debunk bullshit he’s seeing than spreading it. So this helps at least in that. And violations can be fined, and social media will not also be encouraged to ban users posting fake images without markers.

    A fundamental human right people should have is the “RIGHT TO REALITY”, to know what is real and what is fake and to not be deceived. The most extreme would be to put people into “The Matrix” or a simulation without them knowing. And what we’re seeing today is kinda like this - politicians lie and mainstream media obscures.

      Yeah then some evidence of Andrew Mountbatten mutilating children comes out and they go “oh look, you can computer forensically tell the digital AI watermark has been removed! It must be fake!”

      AI exists for one reason only: to help the ruling class get away with whatever the fuck they want.
