Agreed. “Failed to disclose” isn’t condemned as harshly as “Blatantly lied”, even if it should be. So obfuscating a project’s AI usage may be seen as less risky than being upfront about it.

A responsibly transparent project should advertise itself as AI-free if it truly is.

So what’s stopping me from using OBS as a virtual camera and feeding it a stream of stock footage of someone waving their hand?
