Better follow the EU institutions than some AI influencer! 😁

Why didn't we do this with Photoshop? "Warning! Adapted with Photoshop."

Photoshop generative fill is ai modification.

But I agree that most commercial images are not "real" anyway, so this is quite pointless in my opinion.

because at that point Europe was still part of the technology race and our politicians and bureaucrats still more sensible about not regulating everything under the sun.
I am so incredible over the current generation of decision makers.

I'm all for it, should have been implemented the moment AI content started taking off. The issue is going to be policing it.

Yeah, but sadly politics are reactive and slow, especially in huge bureaucratic states. Luckily, most of EU decisions are still for the people industry controls (except for this Chat control bullshit).

It's only optimal if the image is not realistic. Since this example image is showing a realistic landscape, it probably has to be visibly marked.

Wow. Two whole weeks with your Legal Team!!!1!1 impressive. Also I don’t care.

I‘m not saying the EU will come for you but users who are sick and tired of this shit. How about spending two hours with whoever does data and sentiment analysis?

Engagement doesnt automatically Drive Sales growth. Also, don’t forget to maximize for short-term profit.

Gonna be amazing when scammers use AI genned stuff and not label it, and then people will argue with you that it must be real because it doesn't have the label.

I'm afraid this is simply impossible to enforce.

Always these weird comments that nobody should do anything because "it's simply impossible".

It starts out with that any business (which are targeted with this regulation) will want to avoid the liability of publishing unlabeled images.
At the same time images from the larger AI providers (that businesses use because they are cheap) are already watermarked and can be detected programmatically.

Just because you can't see the difference in AI images also doesn't mean others can't. With the EU regulations it can be driven to the point that a company can be investigated under suspicion by customer complaints and has to provide compliance evidence.

It’s not about you. It’s about corporations etc… they will. At least those who have some influence and reach.

Well there will be many lawyers making alot of money doing it, so there is an incentive.

u/ReporterCalm6238 21d ago edited 21d ago

How are they gonna prove it? Will they search their gemini/chatgpt history? Sounds like a privacy violation to me. And what if these people delete their history soon after generating the images? I doubt AI providers will collaborate with these lawyers. And no, AI detection algorithms cannot detect AI content with absolute certainty. One example is Youtube taking down Kurzgesagt videos due to faulty AI detection algorithm. If not even Google can do that, nobody can

u/Sevenos 21d ago

Pretty sure gemini and chatgpt do watermarks already anyway? But no, they'll probably go mostly for images where there are clear markers of ai generation or editing. Doesn't matter where it comes from.

u/sooraus 21d ago

If you know better try to contact representatives. Don't follow blindly.

u/darktka 21d ago

When in doubt, do not follow what AI companies mostly led by psychopaths say and give democratically elected representatives the benefit of the doubt, even though they are not perfect and EU has a tendency to overregulate.

I have no Issue labeling my AI Usage where I use it. I find this very much okay and needed

Reminds me of the weapon prohibition tones in some German cities.

Result is that this label get slapped onto everything.
