In California we enacted Prop 65, which requires business to tell you when the business or product exposes you to cancer causing chemicals. The result was that every business and every product now has prop 65 warning labels. The warning itself immediately became meaningless, and now we’re left with a compliance regime and no consumer benefit.

Hopefully New York can learn from California’s foolishness and not just end up with an AI warning on every article.

I’ve been wondering for a while now if, in order to distinguish real from AI content, we’ll have to start fingerprinting metadata. I’m glad to see so many positive headlines from NY lately.
