I think we all are about to feel Generative AI fatigue. When our feeds & ads are flooded w/ content that, on the surface, appears to have high-quality visual elements plus well-crafted prose, it'll take us that much longer to realize that some bot/troll/scammer used generative AI to give their content the gloss of quality. To borrow a concept from cryptography, before now quality art and prose was "proof of work", that is, a signifier that a human or corporation took the time or invested in production of quality. Examples: A well-written, fact-filled article just sounds authoritative & you trust it more. A beautiful, polished book/movie/album cover suggests production-values someone invested because they believed in the product's market value. Now, if you see quality product art or article copy you'll have to hesitate and maybe do an extra level of vetting to determine if you're looking at something actually good or something whipped up in 10 minutes to just _look_ good, maybe for nefarious reasons.
