I do agree that there needs to be moderation over content in general, I'd argue that it's not really an AI specific issue. Long before AI came to the scene there has been a problem with figuring out the quality of content and its validity. US famously uses the internet as a political weapon to push its propaganda and dominate the information sphere of other countries. AI is an amplifier and it lowers the barrier for content production.
You used to need a whole editorial stuff to pump out articles, and US has polished media companies whose sole goal is to churn out propaganda. This was difficult to compete with and to put out competing narratives. With tools like GPT it's now much easier for anyone to put out their message and to make it look polished.
In terms of creativity, I'm going to point out that a lot of similar arguments were made when photography was invented. Artists derided photographers because they said it was too easy to create pictures with a camera. Eventually art adapted, and photography has evolved as an art form of its own. I expect similar will happen with AI assisted art.
