(Google has just launched a new AI tool that is terrifyingly realistic)

Clear TOS on the posting of AI generated material, especially videos, is critical to maintaining the integrity of DU and to prevent it from devolving into just another clickbait disseminator of misinformation and disinformation.

IMO, AI generated material should be clearly labeled as such; if AI material is posted without transparent disclosure, it should be hideable. Material of ambiguous origin should alertable, and subject to moderator approval before posting (I know that is onerous, but I can’t see any other way to prevent a deluge of fake AI garbage from flooding the site, even if it takes a week to review and approve videos of ambiguous origin- maybe make videos of ambiguous origin viewable only by star members?)

My apologies if I have overstepped any boundaries; my intention was to bring this topic to the attention of the mods and the greater DU community for further discussion.
