The same technology can be used for widespread, low-cost, highly convincing misinformation and propaganda campaigns
The moon landing wasn't faked, but I was there instead of Neil Armstrong. See these pics?
You think the world will be better when literally anyone can create convincing misinformation and propaganda? Personally I prefer when that power is limited, even if there are still powerful entities that can do it
Would it be better if everyone had access to nuclear weapons? Or biohazards?
Some things in this world, the fewer people that have access to them, the better. In a perfect world, we might have nobody have access to those things, but I'll settle for few rather than many.
It's not a straw man. My point was that some things should not be completely democratized and have zero barrier to entry. You need a license to drive a car or buy a gun (in the civilized parts of the world anyway), so why should you be able to mass produce psychological warfare materials to sow disinformation without any friction or barrier to entry?
