So many reports like this, it's not a question of working out the kinks. Are we getting close to our very own Stop the Slop campaign?

Regulation with active enforcement is the only civil way.

The whole point of regulation is for when the profit motive forces companies towards destructive ends for the majority of society. The companies are legally obligated to seek profit above all else, absent regulation.

What regulation? What enforcement?

These terms are useless without details. Are we going to fine LLM providers every time their output is wrong? That’s the kind of proposition that sounds good as a passing angry comment but obviously has zero chance of becoming a real regulation.

Any country who instituted a regulation like that would see all of the LLM advancements and research instantly leave and move to other countries. People who use LLMs would sign up for VPNs and carry on with their lives.

A very simple example would be a mandatory mechanism for correcting mistakes in prebaked LLM outputs, and an ability to opt out of things like Gemini AI Overview on pages about you. Regulation isn't all or nothing, viewing it like that is reductive.
