I think the bad things would be targeted use of realistic images: for example, imagine the horrible things some people experience in school multiplied by “leaked” photos, or someone’s abusive ex distributing “proof” of their infidelity / unsuitability to have custody, etc. There’s a theory that over time people would stop believing everything they see but there’s still plenty of time for millions of tragedies before that happens, if it ever does. Forensics is going to be a growth industry.
