What "harm"?
The only "harm" is from the authoritarians wanting to ensure only they have the means to produce propaganda for the masses.
Now the masses can amplify their own voices instead.

Some voices are “$politicalParty should win at all costs” and “my ex-spouse should be humiliated” and “my boss should go to jail for the pittance they pay me”, and instead of text opinions posted or voices shouted, there’s video gen to amplify them. They didn’t have the skill to make a convincing fake video themselves but if tools are at their fingertips… temptation.
Really not ideal although obviously amazing artists will do incredible things with the technology that many of us will enjoy.
Cat out of bag, of course.
This is what the First Amendment protects. True freedom.
Well, you can imagine how the first and third examples could go far beyond protected speech.
Boss example -
The First Amendment wouldn’t protect the whole process of making deepfake videos created with the goal of spurring a false imprisonment in retaliation for perceived poor leadership, and sending them off to the company board and town police chief as if they’re real, asking for immediate action.
The masses wont be amplifying their own voices they will just be getting more propaganda.
It's going to be just like social media. A flood of content from the talentless masses exposing us to their lazy and shallow ideas they just cannot keep to themselves. Once in a while a diamond in the rough will be found, but at what cost?
The long tail dream didn’t really happen in any single market which was democratized the same way in the past. Why do you expect something else now, especially on an already oversaturated market?
How does creating fake video amplify anyone's voice?

The the mass is pretty fucking stupid given what we can see online, 99.999% absolute dog shit tier slop
