The AI produced content I've seen writes like a competent 5th grader. National Geographic wasn't being written by competent 5th graders. I do think people are going to get tired of AI-produced this and AI-produced that - they're going to crave content created by humans. At least for some things. There may be a place for AI-created content that we love. That is this whole thing might be a false dilemma, it's not AI or human created content, it's AI and human created content. We'll find out which is better at what.

I imaging that in a not-so-distant future we'll have some "Genuine Human Generated Certification" It has happened the same way in every areas where you have rampant counterfeit or simply cheaper competition. As even if LLM can generate greate quality content, it will always be even cheaper to mass produce low quality. And once you cross the Rubicon of not being certified, it is just a matter of time that capitalism/greed will make it a race to the bottom.

> The AI produced content I've seen writes like a competent 5th grader. National Geographic wasn't being written by competent 5th graders. Well, over half of Americans read below a 6th grade reading level[1], so it seems like AI content is satisfactory, given the median reading skills. 1: https://www.apmresearchlab.org/10x-adult-literacy https://www.apmresearchlab.org/10x-adult-literacy

  National Geographic's audience might not tend toward the lowest denominator. There's a good chance that people who read that magazine have a higher average reading level.

  That's not a positive point for llms. That's just a horrific indictment on how badly the US education has failed. Past tense. It has failed. It's not failing.

I imagine, after some decades living neck deep in a cesspool of AI generated content, there will be a renaissance of sorts where human produced content will suddenly break through the noise to resonate with some innately human trait that AI can’t figure out.
