Surprise, that’s completely unenforceable.
Yet more out of touch legislators working with things they can’t even begin to understand.
(And I’m not shilling for fucking AI here, but let’s call a spade a spade.)
Watermarks? Super important. Helping the unhoused though, nooooo.
It is enforceable. Not in all cases, probably not even in the majority, but it only needs a few examples to be hit with large fines and everyone doing legal things will take notice. Often you can find enough evidence to get someone to confess to using AI and that is aall the courts need.
Scammers of course will not put this in, but they are already breaking the law so this might be - like tax evasion - be a way to get scammers who you can’t get for something else.
Even if it was enforceable, there are watermark removal AI tools.
What baffles me is that those lawmakers think they can just legislate any problem with law.
So okay, California requires it. None of the other states do. None of the rest of the Internet does. It doesn’t fix anything.
They act like the Internet is like cable and it’s all american companies that “provides” services to end users.
so youre saying nothing should be done? great idea
They call it the California effect for a reason.

If your computer is connected through a VPN to a different state, does that mean you can get around it?
Only gonna make things more difficult for good actors while doing absolutely nothing to bad actors
How in the world would this make anything more difficult for good actors?
It’d be nice to trace an artwork back to it’s source. But I don’t think this is actually practical.
I honestly wouldn’t mind AI imagery simply being labeled as such.
