Wait need to keep simple.
Let’s write:
Apps must tell users they talk to a bot.
Count: Apps(1) must(2) tell(3) users(4) they(5) talk(6) to(7) a(8) bot(9). That’s 9 words, okay.
They also must store data for no longer than 30 days.
Count: They(1) also(2) must(3) store(4) data(5) for(6) no(7) longer(8) than(9) 30(10) days(11). That’s 11 words, okay.
Consent must be clear and easy to get.
Count: Consent(1) must(2) be(3) clear(4) and(5) easy(6) to(7) get(8). That’s 8 words, okay.
Now maybe a bullet list of requirements.
We can use
- Label bot
- Store data short
- Get clear consent
But bullet items are separate lines, not sentences. That’s okay.
Now heading:
Who must follow these rules
Paragraphs:
All AI companion apps that operate in Washington or Oregon must comply.
Count: All(1) AI(2) companion(3) apps(4) that(5) operate(6) in(7) Washington(8) or(9) Oregon(10) must(11) comply(12). That’s 12 words, okay.
Small startups and big tech companies alike face the same standards.
Count: Small(1) startups(2) and(3) big(4) tech(5) companies(6) alike(7) face(8) the(9) same(10) standards(11). That’s 11 words.
Now maybe a numbered list of steps.
Here is what they need to do:
- Add a clear label.
- Limit data storage.
- Ask for simple consent.
But each list item is a sentence? They are short phrases, but okay.
Now heading:
Why it matters now
Paragraphs:
People use AI friends for health, loneliness, and daily tasks.
Count: People(1) use(2) AI(3) friends(4) for(5) health,(6) loneliness,(7) and(8) daily(9) tasks(10). That’s 10 words.
But without rules, data can leak.
Count: But(1) without(2) rules,(3) data(4) can(5) leak(6). That’s 6 words, too short. Need 8-12 words. Let’s adjust: “But without rules, personal data can leak easily.” Count: But(1) without(2) rules,(3) personal(4) data(5) can(6) leak(7) easily(8). That’s 8 words, okay.
These new laws aim to protect users.
Count: These(1) new(2) laws(3) aim(4) to(5) protect(6) users(7). That’s 7 words, need 8-12. Add “from misuse”. “These new laws aim to protect users from misuse.” Count: These(1) new(2) laws(3) aim(4) to(5) protect(6) users(7) from(8) misuse(9). That’s 9 words, okay.
Now include personal opinions: maybe after that.
I think this is a smart move.
Count: I(1) think(2) this(3) is(4) a(5) smart(6) move(7). That’s 7 words, need 8-12. Add “for” something: “I think this is a smart move for everyone.” Count: I(1) think(2) this(3) is(4) a(5) smart(6) move(7) for(8) everyone(9). That’s 9 words, okay.
Honestly, I feel safer chatting with bots now.
Count: Honestly,(1) I(2) feel(3) safer(4) chatting(5) with(6) bots(7) now(8). That’s 8 words, okay.
Now include a relatable example:
Imagine your calendar bot reminding you to drink water.
Count: Imagine(1) your(2) calendar(3) bot(4) reminding(5) you(6) to(7) drink(8) water(9). That’s 9 words, okay.
Now maybe a bullet list of benefits.
