I really wish Google had some kind of global “I don’t want any identifiably AI-generated content hitting my retinas, ever” checkbox.

Too much to ask, surely.

Also a “don’t spread AI generated lies about my business” would be good.

I think it has to be an intentional lie and intended to harm, in the US at least (but don’t trust me on that!). If nothing else it would be interesting to see how it goes!

as a general rule I think, given the stronger requirements about defamation (because of freedom of speech), that this is not the way to go.

Other countries have stricter libel laws and willful disregard of the truth is often enough for it to be libel.
