I'm not sure if TTS is included in your first point, or if you meant a fake visual likeness. But I really want to see TTS labelled because it's so good now a lot of people don't know they are listening to a robot (and it's only going to get better). I know a lot of replies would say "well, what's the harm then?" and that's the insidious thing about A.I. is there isn't usually direct harm, but I think people have a right to know they are living in a fake world and be free to opt in if they wish. On many of the fake channels, I see comments praising the fake actor for reading the stolen academic material (and ironically many of these comments are likely fake, too!).

Is having a random guy on fiverr read a script without further context significantly less "fake" than TTS?

The problem is that the label will become meaningless when it's overloaded. If everything that is touched by AI needs to be labeled, then every piece of content will be labeled as AI. If you have a 3 hour recording from Twitch with TTS in the middle, then that would get labeled as AI. Even if they didn't have to, nobody's going to check a 3 hour recording to see that they didn't get a TTS notification. Put a photo from your phone into a video? Edited by AI. Put a video from your phone into the video? Edited by AI. Soon photo editing tools won't even make it obvious that they use AI. Is that "content aware fill" AI? Or is it something else? Will the average person even know?

  I think there's a significant difference: - between "grammar- and spellchecking", vs "having ChatGPT write the script" - between "editing your pic with filters", vs "having MidJourney create the pic" - between "translating your video with TTS", vs "having a synthetic clone of you speak a script from scratch" The difference is qualitative rather than quantitative. In each case, one is AI-augmented, the second is AI-generated.
