The classic "bad thing always existed but AI made it worse" case.

cultural problem too... like even before AI in recent years there's been more of a societal push that it's fair game to just lie to people. Not that it didn't always happen, but it's more shameless now. Like... I don't know, just to pick one, actors pretending to be romantically involved for pr of their upcoming movie. That's something that seems way more common than I remember in the past.

While I agree with you, your example is not a great one.. There are examples of fake relationships between stars dating back to the start of talkies.

But I do agree. It is more socially acceptable to just lie, as long as you're trying to make money or win an argument or something. It's out of hand.

Let me introduce you to an actor named Rock Hudson coughs in black and white. /s

I think it's the speed by which it can do harm. Whatever efficiency gains we gain from AI for good causes will also be seen by nefarious causes. Tools need safety mechanisms to ensure they aren't symmetrically supporting good and bad actors. If we can't sufficiently minimize the latter, the benefits the former group gains may not be worth it.

Im honestly shocked at the reaction to this. I'm well aware of the culture we live in. Isn't everyone else?
