Here's a way to turn anti-AI rage into action:

Normalize crediting.

I can't tell you how many times an invite, email, blog post, random bit of social media content goes out with some kind of unattributed lovely art.

CREDIT ARTISTS. ON EVERYTHING. It's easy. And if we normalized crediting enough, the generated images would stand out on their own for absence of credit.

@edk @joe I've encountered a number of situations already where AI generated content is being credited with some fake name. For example, some news sites at the very beginning of this stupid craze basically invented a byline for their AI content. I sadly forget which ones because this came in a flurry of such slop reports.

But the point is, I don't think this will solve the issue. Should still do it anyway, of course. Like, who doesn't already do this and why?

@ztj @edk @joe i think maybe sports illustrated? maybe i'm confusing it w their mass layoffs
@hipsterelectron @edk @joe May have been. The one I was able to remember was CNET though they used a group name not a person's name https://futurism.com/the-byte/cnet-publishing-articles-by-ai and also they've owned up to it and followed up on it etc., wasn't quite as sleazy in practice as some of the other examples. Still sufficiently deceptive to influence this thought exercise, imo.
CNET Is Quietly Publishing Entire Articles Generated By AI

The popular tech site has employed the use of AI for its financial explainer articles under the byline of "CNET Money Staff."

Sports Illustrated found publishing AI generated stories, photos and authors

The magazine denied claims that some articles themselves were AI-assisted, but has cut ties with a vendor it hired to produce the articles.
