No, I am saying it is the same. There is no "AI apocalypse".

AI generated "content" is just fulfilling the demand. Before AI we had army of human copywriters, the same person would write articles about movies and nuclear physics. And lets not forget SEO spam and SEO farms.

AI is just generating slop in a cheaper way, and much faster.

Monkeys (more precisely chimpanzees) do not have fasting mechanisms. They never start fasting and go into ketosis, they just die from starvation after week or two. In tropics they have food available all year. They never venture far from food sources.

Humans (and other non-tropic animals like mice) have adaptation for seasonal food availability, and can go through extended fasting.

50% of stuff I read about victims, is about some dogs. The AI generated fantasies are not far from "serious journalism". AI just captures current public sentiment.
