I appreciate your cynicism, shit sucks.
But I do choose to see this as a good sign; that they were pressured into taking even this much action when they could've just continued doing nothing and it would've been easier and probably less controversial. I hope it amounts to something, but tides are shifting even on the business end.
Can you block AI "artists" when you come across them? Are you allowed to curate them out of your experience on the platform?
A badge is not a meaningful change. It's lip service.

AI publishers just need to make an AI image of merchandise for sale.
