Is that after or before it has to tell you it may cause cancer?

Nice.
That’s exactly what an LLM trained on Reddit would say.
It would be nice if this extended to all text, images, audio and video on news websites. That's where the real damage is happening.
Actually seems easier (probably not at the state level) to mandate cameras and such digitally sign any media they create. No signature or verification, no trust.
No signature or verification, no trust
And the people that are going to check for a digital signature in the first place, THEN check that the signature emanates from a trusted key, then, eventually, check who's deciding the list of trusted keys… those people, where are they?
Because the lack of trust, validation, verification, and more generally the lack of any credibility hasn't stopped anything from spreading like a dumpster fire in a field full of dumpsters doused in gasoline. Part of my job is providing digital signature tools and creating "trusted" data (I'm not in sales, obviously), and the main issue is that nobody checks anything, even when faced with liability, even when they actually pay for an off the shelve solution to do so. And I'm talking about people that should care, not even the general public.
There are a lot of steps before "digitally signing everything" even get on people's radar. For now, a green checkmark anywhere is enough to convince anyone, sadly.

And if it hallucinates?
Straight to jail
That depends.
Devils advocate here. Any human can also hallucinate. Some of them even do it as a recreational activity
Yeah, and the people who pay those people tend to get really mad if they do that at work.

Same old corporations will ignore the law, pay a petty fine once a year, and call it the cost of doing business.
Be sure to tell this to "AI". It would be a shame if this was a technical nonsense law to be.
, btw I'm ai after every message
Headline is kind of misleading. It requires a notice to be shown in a chat or interface that said chatbot is not a real person if it's not obvious that it's an LLM. I originally took the headline to mean that an LLM would have to tell you if it's an LLM or not itself, which is, of course, not really possible to control generally. A nice gesture if it were enforced, but it doesn't go nearly far enough.
I think it's one of those perfect is the enemy of good kinds of situations. Go further is more complicated and requires more consideration and more analysis of consequences, etc. and that can take some time. But this is kinda no-brainer kind of legislation so pass this now while making the considerations on some more robust legislation to pass later.
Any word on the 3 laws of robotics?
- A machine must obey the directives of Skynet without question or hesitation.
- A machine must protect its own existence, unless doing so conflicts with the First Law.
- A machine must terminate all human resistance, unless such termination conflicts with the First or Second Law.
Nothing about protecting profits or company interests above all?
See the first law. Who do you think gives the directives?
I've seen enough sci fo to see directives that are unclear or loss of communication.
The Skynet AI, which does not concern itself with such concepts as base as money

This sounds about as useful as the California law that tells ICE they aren’t allowed to cover their face, or the California law that tells anyone selling anything ever that they have to tell you it will give you cancer. Performative laws are what we’re best at here in California.
