I am afraid that we are nearing a phase of the internet where the ratio of human to AI content will reach 1/∞ and you will effectively never see any human content at all. I am afraid of what this will do to my brain personally as I spend most days consuming written content online. What happens when all of that content is coming from AI, tuned by ranking algorithms that create feedback loops based on human emotion and click through rates?
Agreed- I forgot who coined the phrase, but someone said, eventually everything A/B tests down to pornography. You can already see how every influencer is now adopting the Stephen-A-Smith playbook of leveraging rage-clicks and divisive takes for attention and then quickly becoming audience-captured. We already have VCs paying comedians to tweet for them. You will soon be able to generate a selection of witty retorts and memes at the click of a button. At some point soon you won't need the human in the loop.
