Can we please make it a rule that ai content should be labeled?

We really should establish the precedent that fundamentally misrepresenting anything AI as non-AI is a crime.

Any time a neural network is part of the creation pipeline?

Would be nice so I can set my automod to just look for the labels instead of having to nuke it all by hand.

Definitely a necessary move to avoid fake news. I wonder thought the applicability of this and how are they going to detect unlabeled AI videos and fine them.

Yale just put a scholar on paid leave because an article by an A.I. powered, pro-Israel site claimed she was a member of a sanctioned group that she apparently isn’t actually a member of. Assuming all that’s true — it was in The NY Times — the investigation should take 5 minutes, max. It was an A.I. hallucination on a fake news site. Case closed.

Plus, Yale has endowment worth over $40 billion and the scholar was part of a project that was 100% privately funded by donors. I’m somewhat sympathetic to schools with limited resources caving to pressure from politicians and major donors but Yale could absolutely take a stand. They could probably just threaten to get rid of legacy admissions and have most of Congress, SCOTUS, and political donors in a tizzy over having to send their idiot failsons to a state school.
