You’re not wrong (generally speaking, specifically speaking I use the NYT rent vs. ownership calculator to see if it’s worth buying or investing in the sp500)
But the problem here is entirely the lack of flexibility. Once an employer knows you are less flexible than the guy in the next cube, you’re picking up the slack of the guy that can up and move his ass to the next town over in a week.
Without dogging too far, it seems like the law is broadly worded enough to open the door for all sorts of SLAPP-type takedowns, a bit like how DMCA is weaponized against people that don’t have armies of lawyers.
Also, the other source (not the bill itself, mind you, so might be wrong) says “digitally generated”, not “AI generated”, which could be stretched to apply to any image manipulation, like cropping.
Then of course there’s the question of reliably differentiating between AI and non-AI. Which basically means whoever has the biggest legal cannon to fire at the other guy wins.
