The only thing worse than AI generated content is now everyone thinks everything is AI generated.

accussing people that their content is AI generated without merit will do the exact opposite of this

Soon you won't be able to tell the difference between AI generated and 'real' content, since the 'real' content will be all processed by AI automatically. Quality in -> Garbage out.

Is there a reason AI can't filter the AI produced content?

What will happen when content is 99% AI generated?

What if some AI generated content is...good?

If you make all content look like AI generated content, it normalizes AI generated content more and pushes their AI slop and AI generation products.

non ai content will be drowned out by the massive wave of generated content.

this is basically the equivalent of saying that content-farm writers might read your content and bastardise it into seo slop. okay, sure, it's true, but it was always true and AI doesn't change it significantly

Ai generated content is inherently a regression to the mean and harms both training and human utility. There is no benefit in publishing anything that an AI can generate, just ask the question yourself. Maybe publish all AI content with tags, but other than that it is a public nuisance much more often than a public good.
