> What if news organizations were able to put pictures of Saddam's WMDs (that remember, never existed) on frontpage stories while the executive was trying to manufacture consent for entering a war? Then the outcome would be... exactly the outcome we had anyway, which was the OP's point. You can already lie with images with Photoshop. It's a little more work, but you can probably still hide it far better than you can pass off a DALL-E generated image as real. Lying with images isn't the problem. Telling a consistent lie, getting all the details right even when new evidence comes in, that's a problem, and this sort of AI doesn't help with that at all.
