The "is this AI?" fatigue is very grating, but it seems inescapable even if you're not scrolling algorithmic feeds. It permeates group chats, DMs, and even personal blogs. I have no idea how we solve this!

Ironically, it seems that some of the more "anti-AI" people I know are more likely to re-share AI-generated content without realising it, because they aren't keeping up with what today's AI output looks like.

I believe that we will soon live in a future where the content will be fake by default and we will validate the authenticity by looking at the reputation of the source. Each time we will read, listen, or see a new content we will think "is this coming from a trustworthy source? otherwise I will not believe any single word of this".

In this context, the more fake news/content we see, the better it is, because it will only make the process of getting there fast.

We are there already

Yes, but it's not common knowledge. The content disaster needs to be wide and strong, so that the impact is not negligible for most of the people.

Once AI gets good enough, we will be able to tailor it. It (our agent that we personally use) will tell us what is AI and what is not ai generated, if we wish it. But until then, it’s a disaster zone. A holocaust for integrity lol.

If you think this is naive and optimistic, ask yourself, what more valuable technology would there be than an AI agent thats legitimately accurate? It will replace search, it will replace gui. Just tell it what to do.

AI will always be bad at distinguishing AI from not-AI. If AI gets better, distinguishing gets harder.

It will be able to tell what ISNT ai! & what is sloppy or cheap AI meant to make a quick buck.

But then the good AI becomes cheap, and they still make a buck, you just lose the ability to distinguish.

all content and websites will need 3rd party verification stamps like baseball cards gets, or non-gmo veggies, humanely raised meat, no animals harmed in the making of this movie

We already have greenwashing. Stamping things will be pretty much useless.
