I agree with you, some bad actors will unfortunately use this to manipulate their audiences, and I'm def not in support of that. But unfortunately only so much can be done to prevent people from doing that.

That said, my goal is to simply make the process of repetitive editing much simpler, easier and cheaper - sort of like the things they already do. But AI is super powerful and it can do much more than that and we may not be able to prevent that from happening. This should not make us leave the good things from the table though.

Perhaps I'll rephrase a bit. There's no doubt in my mind that this sort of product will be used to mislead people to some extent regardless of your good intentions. To be clear, I'm not accusing you of intentional fraud here, but more that an unintentional fraud seems difficult to avoid when there are insufficient safe guards on this sort of product.

Your customers might not notice such a problem, in the same way that lawyers submitting AI generated court pleadings recently and being sanctioned by the courts did not notice that they were full of hallucinations. But the house buyers and renters will. And that may be a problem for your customers.
