The danger for society is in not already knowing that is the case, since it's relatively trivial, without AI, to make fake content.
We are way past that. If anything, trivialising and democratising the generation of fake content, will educate the masses. Perhaps, bring back the trust for science, which we need a lot.

Mainly people making porn (e.g. stuff like deepnudes). It seems like a lot of work has gone into into preventing that (e.g. filtering porn out of training data, having porn-detection models to block porny output). There's also been a lot of talk about political fakes, etc, but I'm not sure how likely that is to actually happen at this point. I think one of the "selling points" of limiting access to DALL*E was that they could revoke access to people who they deemed to be misusing it.
I wonder is it possible to distribute the task for volunteer's idle GPU (like BOINC)
I'm pretty sure one of the primary arguments for Dall-E and Stable Diffusion existing is that there are lots of people who can't draw anything.
On one side there's no problem to like CP if it's AI generated and no real kids are harmed.
On the other side it may desensitize the public to this type of content.
Also you’re probably not seeing all the pedo content that people are already generating for themselves.
I think that's a good thing. A slow creep is dangerous, because people may not notice, and would be tricked. An explosion of insanity makes everyone realize they can't believe everything they see on the internet.
We'll get more Q-Anon than Wikipedia.
Any favorite examples?

We've been able to create completely photorealistic fiction for decades now. See any movie with CGI for an example of whole worlds, and people, that don't exist. The bar has gradually been lowering (see the amazing CGI that YouTubers do these days), and now maybe there is a bit of a step function down, but being able to make things that aren't real isn't remotely new. I don't understand the fear.
