This may be true, but the CGI you see in Hollywood can run for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The threat with generative models is just how accessible it will be for anyone to make fake news if they choose to, regardless of their budget.

You are saying that you and your keyboard are not capable of producing fake news?

I do get your point but I don't think that anything will be different. It might require a little less effort but with less money than what it costs to buy a gun, you can already do these things. Vilifying the tool is not the right approach. It never has been.

You are right in that we can already create fake news. I also do think that for the most part generative models are going to lead to some really interesting content being created. That being said, I believe that it will make creating fake news significantly more accessible then it currently is which is why we should exercise caution with the development of these tools
