People said the same thing when, after the printing press, there was rampant plagiarism and reverse-plagiarism (attributing words to someone who never said them).

After a period of epistemic chaos, the result was several decades of chartered monopoly and government censorship to get it under control.

I hope we won't need heavy-handed regulation this time around. But that will only happen if we learn from history. We need to get this under control now, while we have the chance to start a framework for protecting our fellow human beings from harm. Complaining that it's hard is not an excuse for doing nothing.
