I agree that malicious actors will always be able to exploit holes in existing tools, it's an endless arms race.
I worry as much about the use of these fears as a means to established centralised control of AI tools, rather than strengthening the institutions which are already supposed to deal with this kind of thing: Illegal things are already illegal, detect them and follow up. Consequences stop crime.
For example, fake news is/was nothing new when it became a weaponised buzzword in the Trump era - lying has always existed, and social networks of trust plus legal consequences for malicious/dangerously negligent mistruths are a proven solution. The fact that these institutions might not be functioning properly (i.e. allowing the mass uncritical publication of mistruths for profit) is more dangerous than the technology that exploits those gaps.
