As the article already states, even with a ban it would still be a reactive process of taking it down after-the-fact, which we already know Isn't Great™ based on other times when the juicy-but-false news headlines that come out first get more eyeballs than the later corrections.

Still, on balance it's probably better than a complete free-for-all? I guess there'd need to be clear lines about what's okay / not, as it seems very easy to overdo it if the language is too vague (e.g., in an extreme case, accidentally banning all manipulation of images / video in political contexts).

Fines that were actually enforced properly might work. In general though I think the feds probably need to run an education campaign about AI.

Well that could backfire. It might require them to teach critical thinking!

It's okay, they can use AI to teach it to save money

It's like they think if they legislate to ban it, it couldn't possibly happen....
