Title, or at least the inverse be encouraged. This has been talked about before, but with how bad things are getting, and how realistic goods ai generated videos are getting, anything feels better than nothing, AI generated watermarks, or metadata can be removed, but thats not the point, the point is deterrence. Immediately all big tech will comply (atleast on the surface for consumer-facing products), and then we will probably see a massive decrease in malicious use of it, people will bypass it, remove watermarks, fix metadata, but the situation should be quite a bit better? I dont see many downsides/
I’d rather have us normalize sourcing things, preferably with the whole trace.
Honestly, I don’t really care if something has been written by an underpaid intern or by a LLM. I don’t think hallucinations are worse than lies and propaganda and these two things are what I want to see fought.
And I think the issue is wrongly framed. Fast forward 5 years (or 5 months, who knows), everyone will have the equivalent of Claude 4 running locally on their phone, and they will ask for news updates on their specific interests to a model who knows what their interlocutor knows in the tone they configured.
“Fucking Putin at it again, this time hit Kiyv with missiles, 50 sent, half went through.” and it will know to give you background when you dont have it “Well it turns out that there riots broke up in Nowheretown in France over a new highway project, with a local ecologist group that brought about a thousand militants across Europe to oppose police. Cool clashes videos if you want.”
We won’t read “news” through generic one-size-fits-all texts, we will be source-hungry and will have agents digest hundreds of pages of raw info into what we need.
Traceability of information will be what matters the most.
