We have laws against undisclosed and misleading advertising, because consumers can't make informed purchases otherwise. What makes you think LLMs will have a fundamentally different pattern than everything else?

Insanely optimistic view to take. I know a handful of people who make this effort in my personal life, including me, and we tend to be treated as paranoid for caring.
