I think this is an interesting proposal. It strikes me as something that is most likely to be useful against “scalable deception” (“misinformation”), and given the utility of scalable deception such technologies might be developed anyway. I think you do need to check if this will lead to deception technologies being developed that would not otherwise have been, and if so whether we’re actually better off knowing about them (this is analogous to one of the cases against gain of function research: we might be better if not knowing how to make highly enhanced viruses).
