Just a thought about how to reign in "Artificial Intelligence"

[highplainsdem]

4. If you'd been following AI news, you'd know that this has been among many suggestions for years for reining in

AI.

The main problem is that the AI bros are opposed to regulation and have the money to buy political power. You saw them line up to support Trump and oppose regulation.

Another problem is that there are currently no reliable tech means to mark what's AI-generated as such. Especially text.

A third problem is that AI companies that have considered trying to create a way of marking AI slop (it's all slop) have been told by the majority of their users - their customers - that the users do NOT want what's AI-generated marked as such.

And a fourth - and possibly most important - problem is that ANYONE considering generative AI's theft of the world's intellectual property, and use for all types of fraud, as AT ALL ACCEPTABLE is giving a thumbs-up to that theft and fraud. As well as a thumbs-up to the environmental damage, the dumbing down of users, and the other harms resulting from the most harmful non-weapon tech ever.

Marking some of the AI slop, in what would be a constant war against those finding ways to remove the markings, would be only a partial temporary solution to a fundamentally unethical and harmful tech.
