After considerable thought, far before this article landed, I have to agree. I have no problem with AI inventing new things. But purporting to be something else - the potential for confusion is far too great. A human parody that contains obvious clues that even those unfamiliar with the subject would recognize as not being the subject - that's fine. But a near-perfect copy of the subject of satire, that is too far. Way too far. The potential for abuse is far too great. Obviously, banning such usage will not prevent outlaws and rogue states from doing this very thing. The goal of the banning is to send a clear signal that in our society, we do not accept such things. Much like chemical weapons. It will also help contain the spread of such things in our society even if our enemies try to send it to us, like child pornography.
