I think people overestimate the bad consequences and underestimate the good consequences of such things.

1. I see amazing potential in AI based content creation. Imagine a world where you can have all the music/movies you want, personalized to your specific taste. I would love to have an AI watch Avatar The Last Airbender and invent a few more seasons for me (find out what happened to Zuko's mom :))

2. It is true that we should be more careful about what content is genuine vs fake, but cryptography has you covered, anyone can easily digitally sign the content they create with their private key and be able to prove the authenticity of their content.

3. One thing to note is that AI cannot be used to distinguish reals from fakes because the fakes are generated (using GANs) precisely so they can't be distinguished from the reals.
