Whilst I agree that AI shouldn't be used in elections, would a ban on such use lull people into a false sense of security?
As the article already states, even with a ban it would still be a reactive process of taking it down after-the-fact, which we already know Isn't Great™ based on other times when the juicy-but-false news headlines that come out first get more eyeballs than the later corrections.
Still, on balance it's probably better than a complete free-for-all? I guess there'd need to be clear lines about what's okay / not, as it seems very easy to overdo it if the language is too vague (e.g., in an extreme case, accidentally banning all manipulation of images / video in political contexts).
