Seems reasonable to me. If you're using AI then you should be required to own up to it. If you're too embarrassed to own up to it, then maybe you shouldn't be using it.
I'm stoked to see the legal definition of "AI". I'm sure the lawyers and costumed clowns will really clear it all up.
Prosecution: "Your Honor, the definition of artificial is 'made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally,' and as all human beings are themselves produced by human beings, we are definitionally artificial. Therefore, the actions of an intelligent human are inherently AI."
Defense: "The defense does not argue this point, as such. However, our client, FOX News, could not be said to be exhibiting 'intelligence.' Artificial they may be, but AI they are clearly not. We rest our case."
What about my if else AI algorithm?
It's not really an llm
IMO if your "A*" style algorithm is used for chatbot or any kind of user interaction or content generation, it should still be explicitly declared.
That being said, there is some nuance here about A) use of Copyrighted material and B) Non-deterministic behaviour. Neither of which is (usually) a concern in more classical non-DL approaches to AI solutions.
Its insane how a predictive chat bot model is called AI
I mean, we call the software that runs computer players in games AI, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The AI chatbot brainrot is way worse tbh.someone legit said to me why don't chatgpt cure cancer like wtf

USA is run by capitalist grifters. There is no objective meaning under this regime. It's all just misleading buzzwords and propaganda.

So does the EU AI act
My LinkedIn feed is 80% tech bros complaining about the EU AI Act, not a single one of whom is willing to be drawn on which exact clause it is they don't like.
Oh, so just like with the GDPR, cool.
Ok, my main complaint about GDPR is that I had to implement that policy on a legacy codebase and Im pretty sure I have trauma from that.
My LinkedIn feed
Yes... it's so bad that I just never log in until I receive a DM, and even then I login, check it, if it's useful I warn people I don't use LinkedIn anymore then log out.
I even ignore DMs on linkedIn, they're mostly head hunters anyway.
Not a terrible resource when you're actually looking for a job. But that's because all the automated HR intakes are a dumpster fire, more than anything headhunters bring in value.
Did you seriously use LinkedIn? I always thougt that it was just narsisitic people posting about themselves never having any real conversations and only adding superficial replies to posts that align 100% with them
If I could delete it without impacting my job or career I would. Sadly they’ve effectively got a monopoly on the online professional networking industry. Cunts

But Peter Thiel said regulating AI will bring the biblical apocalypse. ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
Okay, but when can the law straight up ban companies who don't comply with the law from operating in the state instead of just slapping them on the wrist and telling them "no" the same way a pushover parent tells their child "no". Especially after they just ignore the law.
Can't do anything that might negatively impact business.
bleep bloop.. I am a real human being who loves doing human being stuff like breathing and existing

I am of the firm opinion that if a machine is "speaking" to me then it must sound a cartoon robot. No exceptions!

That might end like the cookie popups in the eu...
If you ask ChatGPT, it says it's guidelines include not giving the impression it's a human. But if you ask it be less human because it is confusing you, it says that would break the guidelines.
ChatGPT doesn't know its own guidelines because those aren't even included in its training corpus. Never trust an LLM about how it works or how it "thinks" because fundamentally these answers are fake.
If I'm not AI, can I lie and pretend that I'm AI? I'm AI, btw.
What if I just use AI to generate all my content and then put an intern in a chair to launder it as original human thoughts?

Will someone please tell California that "AI" doesn't exist?
This is how politicians promote a grift by pretending to regulate it.
Worthless politicians making worthless laws.
Has anyone been able to find the text of the law, the article didn't mention the penalties, I want to know if this actually means anything.
Edit: I found a website that says the penalty follows 5000*sum(n+k) where n is number of days since first infraction, this has a closed form of n^2+n= (7500^-1)y where y is the total compounded fee. This makes it cost 1mil in 11 days and 1bil in a year.
Yeah, this is an important point. If the penalty is too small, AI companies will just consider it a cost of doing business. Flat-rate fines only being penalties for the poor, and all that.

Ok, this is a REALLY smart law!
How do you enforce this
What if it's foreign AI ?
Yeah for real, what does this mean exactly? All forms of machine learning? That's a lot of computers at this moment, it's just we only colloquially call the chat bot versions "AI". But even that gets vague do reactive video game NPCs get counted as "AI?" Or all of our search algorithms and spell check programs?
At that point what's the point? The disclosure would become as meaningless as websites asking for cookies or the number of things known to cause cancer in the state of California.
As a Califirnian, I will do my job from here on out.
