Comment on China announces plan to label all AI-generated content with watermarks and metadata.

Much like a signature, you sign something you want to prove it is genuinely from you, but you won’t sign something that’s not from you while not signing things that are, especially in digital format. Digital signature can just be stripped out of the data. Watermarks on images can now patched with the help of inpainting models. Disclaimers in text can just be deleted. The default shouldn’t be “This thing doesn’t have an AI label so it would be written by human.” The label itself it a slippery slope that helps misinformation spread faster and aid building alternate facts. Adding a label won’t help people identify contents generated with ML models, but let them defer the identification to that mere label because it said so, or didn’t.

I’m curious what you would suggest to aid identifying generated content if not clear labeling. Sure its circumventable but again its more than what already exists. It provides legal precedence for repercussions to companies trying to pass off AI generated content as human created.

Please allow me to have a little bit of time deep thoughts and organize myself. It might take a while, but I will give you a response.
