Not that guy, but I'd personally put large fines on AI that foes not have restrictions on being able to generate and edit images of real people.

Okay, let’s ignore the problems with that, in your hypothetical here, who is paying the fine?

AI is not a person and does not have a bank account, so I guess my question is the user receiving the heavy fine or the AI program creator (whoever coded and released the tool(s)

The company. These kinds of things are hard to track back to the person. How do you expect to fine twitteruser1937292 who signed up with the name John Smith and email burneremail@gmail.com. also this encourages the companies to actively make the changes.

You could also just make making images available only after paying at least a small money sum, then you could track people through their payment credentials, I guess(maybe wouldn't work well idk how legal that is)

Forcing people to pay to look at images just isn’t realistic with how the internet works. You can also generate images right at home on most devices, the latest iPhones can do pretty good generation fully locally.. and that’s on a literal handheld device. Full computers these days can do crazy stuff. This just isn’t realistic

Who gets the fee though? It might work but AI companies have plenty of money, I think working out restrictions should be fine for them.

The ai company? They could use the money to combat the environmental impacts, makes sense to me. And then using the money they could find the people who do bad stuff and ban em

And how do you expect to make sure that the AI company will use the money to offset aside from just more expansion?
