Require Mandatory Disclosure and Labeling Identifying Sales Goods Created in Whole or Part with Generative AI
Mao Lemieux
Let's invent a label - something simple, like "GenAI was used in whole or part in this object's manufacture" and then /require/ creators/vendors to label all of their relevant sales items with it.
Let this label also be a tag or flag as part of an object's or sales vendor's properties, so that Residents don't have to struggle to know if an object is GenAI-"containing."
Let this also be a tag or flag on the MP and in any other searchable interface where it makes sense to exist, so that Residents may include or exclude GenAI items in their search results.
GenAI is not going anywhere. The ethics of its use are a separate matter. But Residents have a right to be informed of the tool's use in the creation of their purchased items, just as we have a right to know whether a food IRL has been genetically modified. Let Residents be advised of the use of GenAI to create purchasable goods, and thereby purchase according to their own preference.
Please disregard, and accept my apology, if this issue has already been discussed/addressed. Thank you.

What if someone downloads a wood texture that was created with generative AI and uses that wood texture for the door of his prefab house that he then sells on the Marketplace?
1) Why exactly should I care as customer if the wood texture on the door was created with AI since there is no chance to spot it? (alleged ethics aside)
2) What if the prefab creator doesn't know that the wood texture was created with AI and there is no chance to spot it? He would not declare his prefab as AI. But what if another prefab creator uses a wood texture that he knows was created with Generative AI and then declares his prefab as AI generated? Now his prefab is flagged as AI while the other is not, but both contain the same amount of AI. This is obviously unfair and in practice there would be no incentive to declare an own creation as AI if other creators don't and it cannot be proven that AI was involved. If you can't prove it then you can't enforce it, and nobody abides by a rule that cannot be enforced.
