    Seems reasonable to me. If you’re using AI then you should be required to own up to it. If you’re too embarrassed to own up to it, then maybe you shouldn’t be using it.

      I’m stoked to see the legal definition of “AI”. I’m sure the lawyers and costumed clowns will really clear it all up.

        Prosecution: “Your Honor, the definition of artificial is ‘made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally,’ and as all human beings are themselves produced by human beings, we are definitionally artificial. Therefore, the actions of an intelligent human are inherently AI.”

        Defense: “The defense does not argue this point, as such. However, our client, FOX News, could not be said to be exhibiting ‘intelligence.’ Artificial they may be, but AI they are clearly not. We rest our case.”

    Okay, but when can the law straight up ban companies who don’t comply with the law from operating in the state instead of just slapping them on the wrist and telling them “no” the same way a pushover parent tells their child “no”. Especially after they just ignore the law.

      Probably will get it anyway, companies don’t like to build and maintain software for two different markets so they tend to just follow the regulations of the strictest market, especially if those regulations don’t really cut into there bottom line like this one.

      “AI” is already being used for genocide in palestine and probably elsewhere. Not to mention other “applications”.

      So no luck on the laws of robotics.

      When I read that shit as a kid, I thought Asimov’s laws of robotics were like natural laws, so that it was just naturally impossible for robots to behave otherwise. That never made any sense to me so I thought Asimov was just full of shit.

    If you ask ChatGPT, it says it’s guidelines include not giving the impression it’s a human. But if you ask it be less human because it is confusing you, it says that would break the guidelines.

      ChatGPT doesn’t know its own guidelines because those aren’t even included in its training corpus. Never trust an LLM about how it works or how it “thinks” because fundamentally these answers are fake.
