Is using phash a bad idea for media ids?

I am trying to find a way to create IDs for media assets that are not based around sequences or controlled by the DB. It seems as if this may be useful as every row will be representing a media item - surely this creates a short and distinct id that has the benefit of being generated by the item? Have I missed an obvious problem?​https://ift.tt/2Od4TUv
