If we're talking about non-internet systems like robocalls, then we actually have laws that aren't really even related to most of the things we've talked about. There's a rule called the TCPA that's an anti-robocall law, basically, that says you cannot just bombard people with synthetic phone calls. And it was recently decided that, all right, should artificial voices there include voice cloning?

Yes, obviously. Right. So at this point, things like robocall laws apply to AI. And so if you're going to try to get Joe Biden calling a bunch of people and telling them not to vote, that's something that just can be regulated under a very longstanding law.

That raises really all the same questions that image based questions. AI raises. In some ways, it's probably going to be harder to detect and regulate against at a non-legal platform level because so much stuff is optimized for detecting images. And so in some ways, it's maybe even a thornier problem.

There are a bunch of really hard technical issues. And a lot of those issues are going to be irrelevant to people because so many people do not check even very obviously fake information because of a variety of reasons that do not have anything to do with it being undetectable as a fake. I think that trying to actually make yourself care about whether something is true is...
