I think the proposal is reasonable provided ChatGPT is classified as moderate risk.

One thing I don't quite understand is how they are going to ensure that AI-generated text is always marked as such. When the text is generated in the chatbot, the fact that it is AI-generated is clear, but the user is free to copy-paste it anywhere. There is no good way to watermark plaintext.

Individuals will always be able to do this, but it might be enough if it's illegal and a bit of extra effort. You don't need to eliminate 100% of AI-generated spam, just make it risky and unprofitable enough that it's not a common practice, and have people call out those who seem to be doing it. I'm not sure it's possible, but it seems worth trying.

And if someone is operating a troll farm in another country, this won't help.
