so if AI is so amazing, why don’t articles and books written with it have huge “proudly made with AI” banners and stickers on it

we all know why

@thomasfuchs so glad the EU is making companies mark it as such.
@hbons @thomasfuchs It's a step forward, but it's not good enough. When I searched for information about that law, one of the first results was a marketing firm called Weventure talking about how they can "make sure your AI-powered content doesn't have to come with a warning label." I'm not linking to them because I don't want to boost their SEO. Basically, they're going to do just enough human review to get around the law.

@hbons @thomasfuchs

If my past experiences in marketing are any indicator, people aren't going to check very closely for AI hallucinations before publishing articles that won't be marked as AI. Taking the time to do proper fact checking is obnoxious and not "efficient" enough.

@hbons @thomasfuchs still happy to see that the EU is trying to do something about unmarked AI content, though! Hopefully non-EU countries will follow suit, and people will keeping working on ways to deal with all the AI slop/hallucinations floating around the internet.
