    1. Cool graphic, but what does COVID have to do with the advancement in AI? Would the prevalence of AI written articles have increased had COVID not happened?

    2. This asserts that COVID made the world more virtual, but I’m fairly certain the LLMs changed the game here

    3. This animation could have just been a line graph with vertical lines at COVID and GPT-3 release.

      There was no reason to “wait for it”.

      I would love to see what the impression count of ai articles vs human ones is. Yes, we’re being flooded with slop, but I would hope most people don’t actually click or read it.

    5. and it is crystal clear just making a basic research for anything on google: pages and pages of ai slop websites with the same generic, empty, useless content

    6. Love having to sit through 4 years of nothing wasting my time instead of just starting in 2019

      There need to be laws that force people to identify when ai is used. Yes some people will lie and do it anyway, but it will stop a lot of it

    8. The swamp water is rising and we’re barely paying attention until we can taste it in our mouth.

      Soon any human truth will be lost in an ocean of dubious fakery.
      And the biggest irony is that we’ll be using the new AI browser to navigate this swamp of their own making. The most putrid the internet becomes by their hand, the most unavoidable their searching tools become. Either way they’ll be making money.

      We need to ban generative ai outright.

      Defined as “content created without any human involvement”

      We need to restrict AI to only helping humans, and it must say AI was used or face heavy fines.

      We are extremely close to a dead internet.

      Tbf the majority of those are probably dogshit content mill websites no one has ever heard of. 

    11. Yeah, except AI detection softwares are notoriously inaccurate. As far as “data” goes, this might as well be vibe-based.

      Sure, there’s absolutely been a massive rise in AI-generated content and AI-fueledbots online, but this graph simply couldn’t show us the true numbers with any meaningful fidelity (given the tools currently available to detect AI content).

    12. Slop. Most of what AI produces is crap anyway, which is shown even more now that it started copying other AI slop.

      interesting the spike around 2016 and insane seeing how fast AI has taken over the internet
