"Make a photograph of Joe Biden in a hotel room bed with Kim Jong-un."

Simply the ease at which people are going to be able to make extremely-realistic game photographs is going to do some damage to the world. It's inevitable, but it might be good to postpone it.

The counter argument is that, by the time these models become available to the public, they will produce output that cannot be distinguished from real photos, so the damage will be even greater than if they became available today

I don't understand why. If someone has gone to a blockbuster movie in the last 15 years, they're very familiar with the concept of making people, sets, and entire worlds, that don't exist, with photorealistic accuracy. Being able to make fictitious photorealistic images isn't remotely a new ability, it's just an ability that's now automated.

If this is released, I think any damage would be extremely fleeting, as people pumped out thousands of these images, and people grow bored of them. The only danger is making this ability (to make false images) seem new (absolutely not) or rare (not anymore)!
