The first half is correct. Nobody said it wouldn't lead to increased fraud. Every new generation of malicious tactic does until human and technological countermeasures[1] catch up. It's certainly not going to "escalate things to an unthinkable level", however.
And we do live in the same world, a world where some new major technological advancement happens, and some technophobic portion of the audience gasps and claims the sky is falling. They said it about newspapers, home computers, about the Internet, about smartphones, about AI image creation, AI chatbots, and about AGI. And while it creates challenges, the sky never falls.
Heck, there's even a Twitter account[2] that humorously documents it throughout history.
