I don't think it's unreasonable to ask to know the difference between fact and fiction. Articles on astronomy are clear when they share an artist's depiction of some distant phenomenon so readers don't mistakenly believe that our telescopes picked up that impressive image.
With AI tools getting better and better, it's already getting to the point where viewers will struggle to differentiate. Where's the harm in labelling the images?
I was not advocating for "online slacktivism", I was merely giving my opinion of what rules or laws ought to be introduced to the effect, akin to copyright laws or open-source licenses (it is not "online activism" to give correct attribution according to the terms of a license). Shouldn't we be able to have this debate, or do you think that this decision-making should be confined to policymakers?
Whats the difference between your behavior and theirs? You're both trying to influence other people's behaviors with words. How you seek to claim the moral high ground does not seem like an important discriminator.
The difference is I'm not saying what everyone should do, but rather expressing dislike for people who like to fantasize about ordering everyone around.
