I think that labels are a good idea. The tricky bit is enforcement. What if the website with AI-generated stories is a platform website which has an API for uploading stories and a third party uploads the AI-generated stories with the fake bylines? What if the uploader is not located in Canada?

How would law enforement even know that the stories were AI-generated?

Mobile driver's licences could be a way for the platform website to check if the uploader is human assuming that the uploader isn't using a stolen mobile driver's license

What about a warning label on a credit card?

Thanks Vass, more a fun thought experiment really. What is the efficacy of warnings on cigarette packages (per user)? The images on a pack are a reminder of the potential complications from smoking. Hard to know the impact as each individual responds to stimuli in a range of behavioural responses. Applying that logic to a portion of the credit card itself, it might be a warning label or visual story on the card. Finance is abstract so it's hard to visualize without being gross and highly correlative (many factors to a failed marriage or becoming homeless or declined a mortgage).

WARNING THIS CREDIT CARD CONTAINS FINANCIAL RISK:

Interest and fees can add up quickly.

Pay more than the minimum balance each month.

Develop a budget to monitor and control your spending.

Consider consolidating your debt to reduce the amount of interest you pay.

Avoid taking out cash advances or using your credit card for gambling. etc etc
