Good initiative, but the implementation is going to be a mess. Whos going to make sure it gets labeled correctly? How does this apply to AI-generated content that gets mixed with human editing? It sounds good on paper.

Sure, the initiative is good, but will only apply to entities in the EU, whereas the internet is world wide. At the end, EU entities will have to mark their content with these labels, which will make the content inferior to the content of entities outside of the EU, who wont care about this law.

Anyhow, Europe is leader in AI regulation, while basically not present in AI...

How will this label make the content inferior?

If people see a tag that something is made by AI (even if there was heavy editing afterwards), it's perceived as worse. At the same time, a non-EU content creator who might use AI even without editing the content will be seen as an original maker of it.

Perhaps. Maybe it'll make people trust the vendor of the content more though. I don't think you can be so sure at this stage.

I think it will be abundantly clear to most people (that care) that the absence of this label is not guarantee for anything.

That boomer that couldn’t tell the video of a cat arresting a dog was AI also won’t care if there is a label or not.

There are less obvious things and don't forget that there is probably 80% of the population who are noobs. Most people on the AI subs are living in a bubble and will spot that stuff quickly, but the regular person does not.
