China has released a set of guidelines on labeling internet content that is generated or composed by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which are set to take effect on Sept. 1.

    As an exception to most regulations that we hear about from China, this approach actually seems well considered - something that might benefit people and work.

    Similar regulations should be considered by other countries.

      They plan to ban hating on the supreme leader.

      China is long ahead with that so maybe there is hope.

    Stable Diffusion has the option to include an invisible watermark. I saw this in the settings when I was running it locally. It does something like adds a pattern that is easy to detect with machines but impossible to see. The idea was that you could check an image for it before putting it into training sets. Because I never needed to lie about things I generated I left it on.

    China, oh you Remembering something about go green and bla bla, but continue to create coal plants.

    The Chinese government has been caught using AI for propaganda and claiming to be real. So I don’t see it happening within the Chinese government etc.

    Me: “hé <AI name> remove the small text which is at the bottom right in this picture”

    AI: “Done, here is the picture cleaned of the text”

    Will be interesting to see how they actually plan on controlling this. It seems unenforceable to me as long as people can generate images locally.

      That’s what they want. When people doing it locally, they can discredit anything as AI generated. The point isn’t about enforability, but can it be a tool to control narative.

      Edit: it doesn’t matter if people actually generating locally, but if people can possibly doing it. As long as it is plausible, the argument stands and the loop completes.

        It’s not like this wasn’t always the issue.

        Anything and everything can be labelled as misinformation.

    Having some AIs that do this and some not will only muddy the waters of what’s believable. We’ll get gullible people seeing the ridiculous and thinking “Well there’s no watermark so it MUST be true.”

      Sorry but the problem right now is much simpler. Gullibility doesn’t require some logical premise. “It sounds right so it MUST be true” is where the thought process ends.

    This is a bad idea. It creates a stigma and bias against innocent Artificial beings. This is the equivalent of forcing a human to wear a collar. TM watermark
