AI products that deceive people should be illegal in the same way fraud is illegal. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

24 Nov 2025\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0It should be against the law to use generative AI to deceive the public.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got absolutely no problem with outright government censorship in this case, and I say this as an aggressive and outspoken proponent of free speech. AI products which deceive people should be illegal in the same way fraud is illegal.<\/p>\n

I want it to be illegal to knowingly circulate AI video footage and pass it off as real.<\/p>\n

I want AI companies to be severely penalized if they don\u2019t prevent people from using their products to generate fake videos that get passed off as real.<\/p>\n
