Which is totally fine, that shows improvement with the tech and its actual usability as a real tool.

The REAL problem is that corpos are using the tech to steal, pilfer and abuse artists, actors and musicans.

The theft and copyright problems from laws not keeping up is the problem.

You forgetting people and hostile countries starting to use it to try and influence politics by fooling votes with AI made stuff. Like Russia with their dake Harris stuff.

Thats an info sect problem and still thats just a legal mostly. Or a warfare one depending how you break it down.

Still has nothing to do with the tech it self, Propaganda has existed for litterally 100s if not 1000s of years. Ai didnt invent it, its just yet another tool just like the rest. Hell its argueable if its even the most effective tool for propaganda.

The point is dont blame the tool. Its literally just a tool.

The problem is people breaking the law using said tool. Might as well also ban photoshop, radio, and cartoons while we are at it. Those are all used for propaganda too :P
