How do you propose to uninvent generative models? They are already deployed. Some are open source and free. The best strategy now is to push ahead with AI. For example to develop local AIs that can counter the evils of the internet and other AIs. An AI immunity system for the user, maybe as part of the web browser or operating system.
This pandemic a few hundreds of thousands have died in the USA alone because a few, very few people decided to pander anti scientific views. Which found a very fertile ground thanks to the relentless work of conservative pundits in the last few decades destroying the credibility of media. Check Charlie Stykes' How the Right Lost Its Mind -- and note he blames himself as well, rightfully so.
The next pandemic when these articles will be written by these AI will be a lot worse. You can write a thousand very scientific sounding papers in seconds.
Even right now to appease these morons the world has largely dropped masking mandates and that kills and disables people. There is no scientific reason not to mask and every reason to do it but it's politically not expedient. Check https://jessicawildfire.substack.com/p/heres-150-sources-on-...
So the danger is the death of millions in the next pandemic. And that's just what immediately comes to mind as the biggest, most concrete danger.
Other dangers include the almost immediate obliteration of independent artists -- there's a lawsuit now, good but it won't be able to do much, even a few hundred millions in damages is just cost of doing business to these folks. So many possibilities... https://mobile.twitter.com/Dereklowe/status/1599035870308618...

I think that vastly overestimates the incremental value of more articles. Despite the common refrain, most people are not "doing their own research" and reading articles, so whether we have more real or fake ones is not really that material.

Computers obliterated millions of jobs as well. Maybe we should outlaw those as well?

As a meta point, your barely veiled loathing of "these morons" makes your protestations that they must be protected from these technologies for their own good pretty ironic.
