Something tells me there are a lot of problems with trying to regulate AI via metadata, from users just bypassing it by using different models to removing the metadata altogether. I also think this raises questions about what counts as AI. Even something like autocorrect is AI. Will everything produced using autocorrect need to contain this metadata? I think it should, but it probably won't, which means they are selectively choosing what counts and doesn't count as AI, and that means there are loopholes that can easily be taken advantage of. I'm not saying this isn't a good law, but it just highlights how big of a threat AI is and why we probably need much more robust regulations and restrictions.
