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 think you probably bump into first amendment issues if you try to mandate how and what can be shared in general. You may be able to regulate it in specific contexts, for example like in advertisements.
I think the only good way to do it would to have something enforceable on companies who publish AI models rather than individuals who share images.
