Surely people don't think banning generated essays or art is going to fix whatever problem they perceive? This stuff is improving quicker than we can adapt, and any response that attempts to halt, delay, or ignore this progress is destined to fail.
The singularity is one thing, I think might sneak up on us way faster than we think, and I don't think one can be prepared for a doubling of info every second of every day. It's incomprehensible that everything will just double faster and faster until a decade of progress takes place in 10 minutes, not 10 years.
