I think it's fine as long as its output is watermarked so you can avoid it.

If you need to watermark it then you don't need to watermark it, though.

  • Ai content should absolutely be overtly marked imo. A beep should preceed ai speech, a visual for graphics, etc. This should have been a rule from the beginning.

    Pretending to be human, like pretending to be a police officer, should have consequences.

  • What does that even mean

    • "If an artificial label/watermark is the only criteria by which you can differentiate <unwanted version of product> from <wanted version>, by definition there's nothing wrong with the unwanted product itself"

      Of course, "art" isn't one fixed standard of quality/features, and you can get "watermark-requiring parity" with average/bad/unmemorable creations but not the top percentile that's actually valued, for example.

  • So if I can make an AI agent which talks to you just like your husband/wife/girlfriend etc, I can just send you messages without identifying myself as an AI?

    I mean, if you can't tell the difference it doesn't matter right?

    • This is a ludicrous comparison, because in your scenario there is deception.

      If you choose to read a story, then unless it's purported to be by an author you know to be human, or explicitly claims to be written by a human, there is no deception.
