The level of believability in propaganda in 1925 compared to 2025 is a world off difference.

 

And yet, people still fell for it back in 1925 even without AI.  There are documented historical examples of propaganda works dating all the way back to Egyptian and biblical times, so people fell for it then thousands of years before AI.  Propaganda has been used to start and continue wars.  The point is people are stupid.  They always have been stupid and always will be stupid.  It doesn't take much to fool someone into believing what you want them to.  Sure, AI deepfakes are bad and can be very dangerous, but propaganda isn't a new concept that just came into being due to AI.

I don't think that anyone is making the argument that propaganda is a new thing that came into being with AI. And the fact that people have fallen for propaganda throughout history is in no way an argument that propaganda or misinformation campaigns are somehow ok or not something we should worry about. The ease and accuracy with which this technology makes the problem worse is something that merits action.

 

One way of addressing this issue is requiring AI image and video generation applications to watermark content in such a way to make it instantly apparent that the thing being shown was generated via AI.

I've always felt that the easy to fool people are being fooled by stuff that they want to believe.

There are AI tools specifically devoted to removing watermarks.

There are tools specifically devoted to printing fake money. 

The legislation is not a silver bullet to end all fakery that is meant to take advantage of people. The idea would be to reign in the biggest players so that slop is not permeating everything. Then worry about the people removing watermarks.

That's one of the things inpaint can do. Inpaint was not designed as a watermark removal feature by any stretch.
