where legislators passed a law censoring political speech that uses artificial intelligence, as The Bee frequently does to generate the images that illustrate its "fake news" stories.
Under HB 182, The Bee would be forced to post a disclaimer at the beginning of every story stating that it has been "manipulated or generated by artificial intelligence"—effectively killing the entire joke.
