I am proposing a new law: Any content where more then 2% has been created by AI should be clearly marked as such.

Would improve both Amazon and YouTube significantly. I have basically stopped using them after seeing all LLM spam.

No way to enforce it. We already have laws about scams and counterfeit products which Amazon does not enforce, even in cases where it absolutely could.

There are valid objections to GP’s point, but this one is silly.

Having anti-counterfeit laws is vastly preferable to not having them. Counterfeiters do get busted, though you’re right that Amazon and the authorities could indeed do more.

I’d rather live in a world where at least some criminals are deterred from selling me a fake fire extinguisher that doesn’t work when my house is on fire.

No, but once you start demanding your money back for a product being mislabeled things will improve

The problem I've been running into, is the platforms have no interest in letting us filter by it.

I use Audible a lot, and so far they've been good-to-okay about labelling ChatGPT as a co-author, Virtual Voice as a narrator, etc. It's not the labelling I have a problem with. It's that I can't use that to then just exclude them from my searches.
