This seems... really poorly thought out, tbh. Tons of major studios are already using generative AI content as part of their creative pipelines. Photoshop has their new "generative fill" tool that is going to become more and more standard. The line between AI and not-AI is already blurry as hell, and going to get blurrier. Banning it outright is not remotely sustainable.
