AI generation can be used for disinformation which can literally destabilize or right away end the world as we know it.

But fake Taylor Swift pictures, this is where we draw the line ...

You know, whatever it takes to get people to act. Sometimes it'd something dumb that motivates prople.

No matter the law, exactly zero powers will stop using it. Any law will only hamper the regular citizen in their endeavors.

Or help create technology to detect it? Put some money behind that cat-and-mouse game since there’s evidently no way of stopping it.

Better detection tools will directly lead to better generative AIs that can avoid detection by these tools. You literally hook up the detector to the AI and use its output to train it. Eventually it will get to the point where it is impossible to tell. Holding back on the detection tools will keep it possible to do that detection for longer. Generative AI has the advantage in this arms race.

Not that that will stop it, it will just force those who want to improve generative AI to develop their own detectors in addition to developing the generative AI itself.
