Interesting thoughts..

I'm just not sure if it would make a difference even if it was outlawed.

The algorithms are out there, and it will only be a matter of time until more organizations adopt them to make their own programs. The tech savvy will be able to get and use them eventually. The internet is worldwide and it would be out there somewhere where people could get it.

It will cause problems and disruptions of some kind in various industries. Chat to generated target email will be a problem, with the need for verification and a source.. Eventually generated realistic videos too. I don't know what the solution is. It might be more levels of identity are eventually needed for something like email. We're also in a time people don't trust centralized sources.

I just don't think outlawing it would sufficiently work.
