Yo, I don’t mean to get all John Connor or anything, but we need to put a stop to and legislate against AI. Full stop.
We already see how it’s being misused.

What would you legislate here? The publication clearly doesn’t care about quality and paying some people to fill shitty, already pre programmed templates and using something like chatGPT seems like the same style of crap.

They were definitely not a safe source of labor.

Also, I’d caution against reactive takes of “legislation” when the politicians who can legislate usually don’t understand the technologies and are simply trying to bundle stuff in for their lobbyist (who funds them) benefit. The same types who “want to ban encryption” or other myopic takes.

Stronger rights and guarantees around imbalances of power (not specifically related to tech either) would work much better than just reacting to an AI scare.

Having to put a disclaimer if an article is written using AI (like they have to do for advertorial) would be a good step.

I keep seeing this but I don’t get it. Can you give me the outline of a proposed law that you would enact?
