Major social media platforms in China have started rolling out labels for AI-generated content to comply with a law that took effect on Monday
so one of the most censord and biggest social media sites in the world will label ai generated contend while Chinese ambassadors post ai generated propaganda on x. that's just funny.
Why can’t we western wankers have those?
Yay for labeling slop as slop
I think it’s dangerous honestly. Because something missing the AI tag will be considered more authoritative even if it’s mislabeled.
If the tags were 100% accurate I’d agree that it would be a good thing, but that’s mathematically impossible.
Also, stuff that gets mis-labeled as AI can be just as dangerous. Especially when you consider that the AI detection might use such labels to train itself. So someone who’s face is weirdly symmetrical might get marked as AI and then have hard time applying for jobs, purchasing things, getting credit, etc.
I want to know what counts as AI. If someone uses AI to remove the background in an image or just to remove someone standing in the background is technically generative AI but that’s something you can do in any photo editor anyway with a bit of work.

There are very few things the chinese government does right. This may be one of them.
