so youre saying nothing should be done? great idea

Sure, but this is less than nothing. It literally applies 0 friction against AI and is complete and totally unenforceable. AND it's a laughing stock for everyone and sucks the oxygen out of better AI regulation groups and think-tanks.

Why? If a California corporation is pumping out AI content and it doesn't have watermarks, why can't this be enforced? It's not an all use solution, but I fail to see how it fails completely.
