If the chart below is anything like accurate, one can only wonder what the next few years will being in the way of 'automated' content & what that might mean for the handling & distortion of information, communication & politics?
Should we be worried? Yes!

@ChrisMayLA6 Someone pointed out recently that this is ALL of the internet, most of which is marketing copy & I tend to agree - it's hard to suss out in data but pretty sure the portion of text online dedicated to actually communicating with each other was already dwarfed by commercial slop even before AI.
So the question is, if nobody reads any of it, do we even care? Sure, search is broken but that, too, is down to over-commericalization - better search is still possible.

@ChrisMayLA6 As a former marketer I built dozens of websites & filled them with text & I can say with absolute certainty, none of it counted as interpersonal communication - and neither did 95% of the social media content I also made for my clients.
I refused to work for shitty companies & fought to keep my clients honest, but that doesn't change the fact that the share of all this content that's people communicating with each other rounds down to 0%.
