It's not the launch of GPT, but probably about 4 or 4o that it really became solid. I also don't think video is there just yet, at least for video over 10 seconds.

Is it "solid" if people can read it and instantly know it's generated content?

No. But you can easily make and post content that is not easily detectable as generated.

You only notice plastic surgery when it's bad, but that doesn't mean all plastic surgery looks bad...

Who's "people"? The bottom X% (40%?) of the population is already falling for AI slop video scams, but before that, they were also falling for pig butchering and nigerian prince scams, so the "average" person benchmark has already been passed for text, photos, videos, etc. For more astute consumers, video isn't there yet.

There's also the question of whether people are even trying to disguise AI content, and how effective that disguise is. Are you or I missing the AI-generated text that just has a veneer of disguise on it?

>Who's "people"?

If you follow this thread up you will see the context is 'people who want to read content written by humans.'

why does it matter when it "became solid?" there was plenty of slop generated with ChatGPT, that really was the turning point (because of public access)
