It'll be hard to identify a spammer who posts like a normal person but occasionally leaves a comment about enjoying a product.

#22>> In the last few months, the constant flood of algorithmically generated junk content has kicked into an AI-powered overdrive, and it is cutting a swath of destruction as it overwhelms search engines, filters, and moderation systems Nothing that wasn't happening already since some 15 years or so.
Believe it or not, sometimes things happen.

I think you are massively underestimating how quickly AI generated content is going to dominate the web. This is something new.
I don't know. People have been saying quite confidently that "AI" is "going to" "take over" the web since ChatGPT was announced. I live online and my only exposure to AI-generated content (that I recognize, of course, but that's another discussion) has been on purpose - when I look for it, use it myself, or others share what they're doing with it. I guess I'm still waiting for it to take over? I think what people mea…
Dunno if you follow gaming news at all, but AI spam has become the rule if you look for anything on new popular games
If you want to know how to solve a puzzle or compare two characters or something, it is almost guaranteed that you will come across pages of search results that seem like generated content
They are usually wrong, too

#24What's interesting to me is how quickly AI generated art came to be expected, unexceptional. Every random blog post has a couple AI generated images now, they are completely unremarkable and uninteresting. The novelty wore off basically instantaneously. They're just the new corporate art style.

#25It is just happening so much faster than expected.
For a little while there were studies about AI training data being poisoned by the AI generated content online. AI digesting AI.
It was expected to happen 'in the future' not 'the day after tomorrow'.

It’s only been a year. As SORA shows, state of the art images and videos will soon be undetectable by human eye and it’s very soon coming to proliferate every “content” you interact with.

This kind of content was never genuine. It was always low effort trash made to cheat search engines. It was either outsourced to copywriters regurgitating the same content over and over, or automatically generated when possible. Automating it with LLMs simply made it obvious.
Amazon book scams is the age-old tradition at this point, it exists for well over a decade and is a result of Amazon not willing to spend even one cent on manual curation.
OP might have a point, but it's still mostly typical microblogging ragebait with unrelated stuff mixed in.

#28That entire website should be banned from Google.

It would just be ugly, shitty graffiti, everywhere.
