It can be both things.
I worry about tracking and the post-truth world of everything fake and AI slop infiltrating everything. And like the person you're arguing with is saying, just because slop/fakery was possible before doesn't mean the widespread scale that AI and the internet have unlocked is of no concern.

- danudey 5mo agoAre you opposed to people knowing that AI-generated content is AI-generated? Or are you just imagining that this is the first step towards 'someone' controlling your every move online somehow? You know what would be a good counter to that? Don't use AI generation tools if they implement that. The argument that 'we should let AI generated media be indistinguishable from the truth because what if Google does something you don't like at some point' is pretty flimsy.
