The thing I find most interesting about people saying AI generated content is easily noticeable, is that they're always presented a question of "Do you think this is AI generated content?". Nobody consumes media with a list of questions they ask themselves for each piece of content. I expect people in the comments to explain how obviously fake it is, but barring the ridiculous scene, I'd 100% believe that was legitimate if I saw it with no AI warning.

Your logic is impeccable, but tragically already obsolete

Pretty soon the default will be everything is AI generated, even the most honest straightforward media will be AI edited/mediated.

It will be too convenient, consistent, flexible and efficient to record and edit most things with AI, not to

Before we asked “was that recorded in analog or digital?” Then we stopped asking.

I see this "fake tom cruise" serie of video a lot on youtube (probably the same guy, because it's the same voice and same height). It's so perfect it made me wonder if the guy's isn't already a tom cruise lookalike and the AI part only adjusts minor details.

Do we have a photo of the original content ?

And if it weren't such an obviously fake situation. Imagine it were more subtle, like Cruise out on a date in a high-end bar, coming onto a woman and overstepping boundaries, taken with a concealed cell phone.

Very few people did, and the consequences of that are incomparable. But I'm afraid your idea of commodity/ease of use will make much of the media AI mediated (at least). And like analog/digital, nobody will notice the difference.
