EU AI labels might make untagged content look safer

The author critiques the new EU regulations requiring chatbots to self-identify and deepfakes to be labeled.
The Argument:
- Banks and newspapers will comply due to compliance teams.
- Criminals cloning a CFO's voice for fraud won't care about the law.
- The Result: Labels will appear on legitimate content, while the dangerous stuff remains unmarked. Eventually, an unlabeled message might start reading as the "safer" option.
- Conclusion: This just shifts where trust sits rather than solving the problem.
