I don't think anyone so far has called for this to be unpublished, just for it to be more carefully considered and for the ethical aspect to be addressed when publishing. That's part of 'building a culture of distrust'.

Knee-jerk refusal to even consider thinking/talking about the use of technology is far more irresponsible than any other stance.

Ignoring human nature is far worse. There are people that will release this simply because you tell them no.

Even beyond that, if you're an authoritarian nation with a rather good lockdown on your news and internet, what's the downside of throwing tools like this at democracies?

In my view the age of tools like this has already been here for some time and they are going to their next step of evolution, and there is very little we can do about preventing the distribution of them without affecting other pieces of software and their distribution.
