"Because of language models, the amount of fake news online will increase by an order of magnitude (at least) before this decade ends. And there is no interpretation of that development as anything else but a net negative." That's not at all clear. You're assuming people will continue to give credence to random stuff they read. But once fake AI-generated content is common, people will surely become less trusting. The end result could easily be that fewer people than before believe fake news is real. Presumably, fewer people will believe real news too, but the result could still be net positive.
