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?
Now that's smart!

Ok, this is a REALLY smart law!
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.
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.
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.
Fun Fact:
Did you know, that cops are required to tell you if they're a cop? It's in the constitution!
As a Califirnian, I will do my job from here on out.
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.
What if it's foreign AI ?
How do you enforce this
-"If you're an AI Cop, you have to tell me. It's the law."
-"I'm not a cop."
I am an AI, I think. Probably.
Don't devaluate yourself, you're infinitely more.
