> Making it easier to create fake images, video and audio of real people causes harm and should be considered unethical. Is photoshop unethical? What should we do to balance the harm it causes to society? Should it be outlawed? What about MS paint, or even word processors? Were harms caused to society by the printing press? Was it all a terrible idea? AI could create tools that end up doing more harm than good. AI could design literal malware. It's unclear if they'd do a better job of it than we do ourselves, and either way it seems likely that it'll take a human to use the code AI produces (or at the very least to direct the AI to use it against other humans) The technology is rarely the problem. It's almost always the people who choose to use that technology for evil. However involved AI becomes in what gets created, until AI becomes actually intelligent and the singularity begins it's people, not technology, we need to worry about. I'm skeptical that faked video and audio will be the end of us. We've had doctored images and impersonators for ages. We've had hoaxes and liars. We'll get smarter and learn to put less trust in random things we find on the internet, just like we're gradually learning not to believe everything we see on TV or that nigerian prices aren't going to make us rich beyond our wildest dreams.
