Re: California bill would require bots to disclose that they are bots
#82A decade ago, when chat bots were a lot less useful, a common piece of etiquette was that it's fine for a bot to pretend to be a human or God or whatever, but if you directly ask it if it's a bot it has to confirm that. Basically of the bot version of that myth about undercover cops. I don't see a downside in requiring public-facing bots to do that Not sure if that's what the proposal is about though, it's currently…

I feel like “using automation to make manufacturing more efficient” and “using automation to respond to customer support” are very different things

#84A even better law would be to force people who are getting paid to post to disclose which company they are working for.
A shill disclosure law.
The problem I see with this is that us company's will be forced to follow it, but foreign ones will subvert it. Knowing that foreign companies will just break the law us companies will offshore these jobs.
No shilling no bots, I think all consumers would agree to vote for such bills.

#86Should PUBG mobile players be told they are winning against bots? Should psychics tell you they cannot really speak for the dead?
> Should psychics tell you they cannot really speak for the dead? Yes?
Is there much of a point in telling psychics that they must tell people they cannot really speak for the dead? Outside of a few outliers, e.g. those who admit that it is for entertainment or those who have psychological problems, those who practice it know it is a scam.
I'm not sure whether those selling AI are in the same boat. One the one hand, the technology does produce results. On the other hand, the product clearly isn't what people think of as intelligence.

#87> The bill updates the legal definition of "bot" to encompass accounts operated by generative artificial intelligence - including systems that create synthetic images, videos, audio, and text.
I'm not sure how enforceable that is tbh.

#88Seems impossible
Re: California bill would require bots to disclose that they are bots
#89Is this feasibly enforceable? The types of organizations that employ bots seem like the same type to not care about the California laws.

#90I get this eerie feeling she has no idea what a bot even is in a technical sense and most likely is being puppeteered by weasels like State Senator Scott Wiener having introduced gems like the AI Models Act [1][2][3]. If the bill passes wouldn't then she have to be the first to disclose she's a bot?
