That's why it exists.

It exists for efficiency and affordability.

If you're coming across with trying to sell me something on that, it's probably not going to make the best first impression unless you make it utterly undetectable.

And if you have a big made with AI or assisted with AI label on that, it's no longer undetectable because even if I can't see it, you've now just admitted that it's there.

I think it's because it's the same process, right?

What we're talking about is a kind of a two-way street that is on the same road.

You've got the people want to identify AI slop, or maybe they don't, but people want to be able to like see what is and what isn't AI.

But then you've got the more insidious thing of we actually want to be able to tell what is real, but it unfortunately benefits too many people to make that confusing now.

But the solution is for both.

AI companies, platforms that are profiting off of all of the stuff that they're showing, how they're making it so much more efficient for content creators to slap stuff in front of you.

We're in a position now where there's more online than we've ever seen, ever, because everything is being funneled out.

Why would they want to harm that profit stream effectively by having to either slam on the brakes of development until they can figure out how they are going to effectively be able to call out when deepfakes are proving to be a problem, when they're going to be able to... The methods of being put in front of it, rather than...

Setting up some kind of middle system, like a Shutterstocks thing, like we discussed earlier, where all press images now have to come from one authority that has to verify the identity of everyone taking them.

Like, maybe that's a possibility, but we are so far from that point and no one's... To my knowledge, no one's instigated setting something like that up.

So...

They're just kind of relying on everyone talking about this in good faith.

Again, every conversation I've had with this is we're working on it.

It's a slow process.

We're going to get there eventually.

Oh, it was never designed to do all of this stuff anyway.
