I’m not as worried about Joe Schmo using OpenAI services as I am about a foreign state with weaponized AI tools. Plus nobody really cares if you can show that something was AI generated after the fact, the first impression is all that counts. Remember the backlash against snopes.com? Social media plus AI is going to make this a really spectacular election season and OpenAI can do approximately nothing to curb that.

Why worry about foreign governments, your own government doesn't even care about you.

This is true, but if it's detectable platforms (IG, twitter, etc) can display a warning/notice when AI generated content is posted

Though, this will likely only deter casuals, since anyone moderately sophisticated can run local models and turn off any safeguards
