Human thought on the other hand has some sort of undefinable entropic-value that AI to-date is missing, a Human can produce a "good idea", whereas an AI produces a bunch of potential continuations of a stings of text and selects randomly amongst them (or, even better, a Human selects from them).
Unfortunately the advertising game mixes up the incentives and flips the equation so that the purpose of communication isn't to share a "good idea" as efficiently as possible, but rather to keep eyeballs on your website for as long as possible in the hope some flashy banner ad will distract your user and you'll get your $0.02 for them abandoning your page, likely unfinished. AI will (and already does) excel at this sort of task, but it's the kind of task that ought to have no value whatsoever.
Luckily we have increasingly sophisticated summarization-AI to go from the filler-AI generated crap back down to a couple of bullet points, but at that point you've invested millions of dollars, researcher-hours, engineer-hours, compute-hours, etc, to make the worst text-compression utility of all time.
It’s increasingly difficult to find product reviews with search engines.
Massive auto generated content farms take a product name and add loads of AI-generated filler text. Pop in a bunch of banner ads and an affiliate link and they have huge economic incentive to scale these operations.
I’m very pessimistic about the direction the internet is going these days. The AI crisis isn’t going to be sentient AI trying to kill us, it’s going to be a flood of noise over knowledge.

We'll need another GPT-3 bot to detect the GPT-3 bots.
