FYI, openai has eased the rule on realistic face generation. Now you can generate and publish Photorealistic faces. They will internally filter those to make sure they don't match famous faces.

I had the weirdest reaction to that last sentence.

As an engineer, the first thing that went through my head was "lots of photos of their faces available, easy filter. My face specifically: hard filter"

But as a person it was "ok wow, f_ck you too then?"

So the famous faces everyone can easily find online anyway: those need protection. Gotcha.
I assume it's more so you can't do something like "Hilary Clinton stabs a child in a dark basement caught on webcam" and then pass it off as fake news somewhere.
How would DALL-E 2 be more effective than plain old photoshop in that case?
Using Photoshop has a much higher skill barrier than typing a fake news headline.
I mean yeah but it just costs money to hire talent, only difference with DALLE is that its subsidized to be free
