We can't have the proles misrepresenting reality the same way that the rich have been doing for the last century. Rules for thee but not for me.
We cannot have fake content on youtube now! No way.

#172Ah it’s better than nothing!
Scammers have been making fake content on youtube since its founding. And youtube has never even pretended so much as to care about doing anything about it.

There are some interesting hardware solutions from camera makers that provide provably authentic metadata and watermarks to videos and images - mostly useful for journalists, but soon consumers will expecting this to be exposed on social media platforms and those they follow on social media. There really are genuinely valuable things happening in this space.
This will always be spoofable by projecting the AI content onto the sensor and playing it to the microphone. Which will give the spurious content a veneer of authenticity, this is within reach of a talented malicious amateur, and would be trivial for nationa-state actors to do at scale.
Thank you for pointing that out, I want to reply to everyone here but I don't think I have it in me to fight this battle. It seems my initial message of "have we questioned ourselves what we'll do should the countermeasures fail?" fell on deaf ears. I asked a very simple question: "what will we do / should we do when faced with a world in which no content can be trusted as true", and most replies just went on to list the countermeasures being worked on. I will follow my own advice and simply accept that is how the band plays.

Nonsense. It isn't marketing speak to cover for anything. It's a pretty good description of what is happening. The reason models hallucinate is because we train them to produce linguistically plausible output, which usually overlaps well with factually correct output (because it wouldn't be plausible to say e.g. "Barack Obama is white"). But when there isn't much data to show that something that is totally made up is…
"Hallucinate" is definitely marketing. it translates to "Creates text which contains incorrect or invalid information" The latter just doesn't sound as good in headlines/articles/tutorials (eg. marketing material).
It's a term of art from the days of image recognition AI that would confidently report seeing a giraffe while looking at a picture of an ambulance.
It doesn't feel right to me either, to use it in the context of generative AI, and I'd support renaming this behaviour in GenAI (text and images both) — though myself I'd call this behaviour "mis-remembering".
Edit: apparently some have suggested "delusion". That also works for me.

#175I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up like prop 65 cancer warnings, or cookie banners. The intention might be to separate believable but low quality hallucinated AI content spam from high quality manual content. But it will backfire like prop 65. You'll see notices everywhere because increasingly AI will be used in all parts of the content creation pipeline. I see YouTube's own guidelines in the article and they se…
This is exactly what will happen, just like with cookie warnings, etc. To be effective, warnings like this have to be MANDATED on the item in question, and FORBIDDEN when not present. Otherwise you stick a prop 65 "may contain" warning on everything, and it's pointless. (This post may have been generated by AI; this notice in compliance with AI notification complications.)
Disagree. I will proudly write that my work is AI free.

#176All websites and all for profit AI companies must add and then display AI watermarks otherwise nothing can truly believed online and offline too

Yes. Nearly all EU regulations are going to end up like that. Over-regulate and people develop blindness to regulations. Our best hope right now is that EU becomes more and more irrelevant as the gap between US and EU grows to the point American companies can simply bankroll the EU leaders.

#178Most interesting example to me: "Digitally altering audio to make it sound as if a popular singer missed a note in their live performance". This seems oddly specific to the inverse of what happened recently with Alicia Keys from the recent Superbowl. As Robert Komaniecki pointed out on X [1], Alicia Keys hit a "sour note" which was silently edited by the NFL to fix it. [1] https://twitter.com/Komaniecki_R/status/1757…
This is a great example as a discussion point, thank you for sharing.
I will be coming back to this video in several months time to check whether the "Altered or synthetic content" tag has actually been applied to it or not. If not, I will report it to YouTube.

I’ve found Prop 65 warnings to be useful. They’re not pervasively everywhere; but when I see a Prop 65 warning, I consciously try to pick a product without it.

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.
There are already various situations where lying is banned: depending on the circumstances, lying might count as perjury, fraud, false advertising, etc. It seems silly to suggest that these laws serve no purpose.
