The volume is the real problem, as you mentioned. People are worried about AI content because it’s hard to even review it or accurately detect it. I can’t remember the last time I looked at my email spam folder, even though I’m sure there are some useful messages in there, mostly because it would take too much time to go through it. If the inbox starts being filled with AI content that isn’t quite spam, it might start feeling like a chore to go through too, again mostly because of the volume. We will have to see if the existing mechanics of unsubscribe, report, downvote, etc. will be sufficient to hold back the tsunami.
My guess is the spam detection arms race will evolve into a content moderation arms race and we will end up with advanced AIs filtering and moderating content for us, to varying degrees of success and things like email, forums, and Q&A sites will become increasingly hands off.
