Will be interesting to see how they actually plan on controlling this. It seems unenforceable to me as long as people can generate images locally.
That's what they want. When people doing it locally, they can discredit anything as AI generated. The point isn't about enforability, but can it be a tool to control narative.
Edit: it doesn't matter if people actually generating locally, but if people can possibly doing it. As long as it is plausible, the argument stands and the loop completes.
It's not like this wasn't always the issue.
Anything and everything can be labelled as misinformation.
True. It is just another avenue to label things.
