They don't bother to mention it, but this is actually to comply with the the new EU AI act. > Providers will also have to ensure that AI-generated content is identifiable.

Seems like this is sort of a manufactured argument. I mean, should every product everywhere have to cite every regulation it complies with? Your ibuprofen bottle doesn't bother to cite the FDA rules under which it was tested. Your car doesn't list the DOT as the reason it's got ABS brakes. The EU made a rule. YouTube complied. That changes the user experience. They documented it.

Doesn't seem that out of place for a blog post on the exact change they made to comply though.

I mean you'd expect a pharmaceutical company to mention which rules they comply with at some point, even if not on the actual product (though in the case of medicine, probably also on the actual product).

These rules have really nothing to do with AI. They're trying to impose a ban on deceit.

Deceit usually implies some sort of intent to defraud. I'm not sure using software to generate background music for a video fits that description.

AI that is indistinguishable from reality is a certainty for the not-so-distant future. That future will come, and it will come sooner than anyone's expecting. Yet all I see is society trying to prevent the inevitable from installing itself (because it's "scary", "dangerous", "undermines the very pillars of society" etc.), instead of preparing itself for when the inevitable occurs.

What sort of preparations do you recommend?

What would you do then if you could prepare for a world where it's already here? Where the asteroid already hit, to use your own metaphor.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Synthetically generating music (including music generated using Creator Music) What about music made with a synthesizer?

If you manually did enough work have the copyright it is fine. But since AI can't legally have copyright to their music Google probably wants to know for that reason.

It goes without saying that a piece of software can't be a copyright holder.

But the person who uses that software certainly can own the copyright to the resulting work.

From your comment's tone, it seems like this is supposed to be a bad thing. The only people who would be upset about this are folks who are trying to pass generated content off as real. I'm sorry if I don't have much sympathy for them.

"You have to tell people if you're lying" isn't a stupid rule because lying is good, it's a stupid rule because liars can lie about lying and proving it was the original problem.

If the contents of my ibuprofen bottle changed due to regulatory changes, then it wouldn’t be weird to have that cited at all.

Ofc. they don't mention it for big tech companies EU = Evil

You'd think they're evil too if they let a bunch of middlemen and parasitic companies dictate how the software you invested untold sums and hours developing and marketing should work.
