I consider that among the unsavory use cases, I think. I'm not sure how I feel about its use in art, exactly, but I'm confident this tech will most often be used for propaganda (because that's how it has already been used most broadly). It is currently possible to detect AI video and audio, with reasonable confidence. I mean, unless you're a facebook boomer, in which case nothing is too ridiculous to be believed.
But, a world where billionaires can make ads showing candidates saying and doing things they've never said or done is a very dangerous world, and being able to fabricate a podcast or whatever very convincingly is going to empower the very worst people. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, so nothing one sees or hears is really believable anymore, serves fascists and autocrats, exclusively.
