Ultimately, I believe most folks will be forced to become more critical of media they consume, which is a good thing, I think.

Remember when email was new? Scammers abounded, still do, but back then lots of gullible people lost a lot of money. Then people got wiser, got more critical, learned how to spot spam, and email providers added filters to spot spam.

Email was not banned just because some people abused it. Should AI as a tool for the Arts and Sciences be banned? Stopping AI progress seems to me like throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Don't get me wrong, I agree, advanced AI will be VERY dangerous in the hands of people behaving badly, those who don't value "truth" as much as personal gain. But I also believe that Law can catch up to tech and find an approach that deals with transgressions appropriately. Also, keep in mind that tech that spots AI fakery will be advancing right behind tech. Hopefully, not too far behind!

And in the meantime, we get educated, or we get duped.

Leave it to the artists and scientists of this world to counter the bad that can happen with AI. So much more good can come from it than bad, I believe. New, wonderful art, and forms of art, cures for diseases...just sayin'...
