So…dead internet theory may be true soon? Kurgesat was right!
Dies the aourcw mean they looked through 5.200 articles or 65.000?
Cool graphic, but what does COVID have to do with the advancement in AI? Would the prevalence of AI written articles have increased had COVID not happened?
This asserts that COVID made the world more virtual, but I’m fairly certain the LLMs changed the game here
This animation could have just been a line graph with vertical lines at COVID and GPT-3 release.
There was no reason to “wait for it”.
I would love to see what the impression count of ai articles vs human ones is. Yes, we’re being flooded with slop, but I would hope most people don’t actually click or read it.
Wait… what did they use before ChatGPT?
Why was covid mentioned at all???
I wanna see the articles that were written by ai in 2015, actually
and it is crystal clear just making a basic research for anything on google: pages and pages of ai slop websites with the same generic, empty, useless content
Love having to sit through 4 years of nothing wasting my time instead of just starting in 2019
“I made $1500 in 2 hours with an AI agent”
But, was this post written by AI? /s
Yay! Now I can’t trust a simple google search. So worth it!
Tbf the majority of those are probably dogshit content mill websites no one has ever heard of.

Yeah, except AI detection softwares are notoriously inaccurate. As far as “data” goes, this might as well be vibe-based.
Sure, there’s absolutely been a massive rise in AI-generated content and AI-fueledbots online, but this graph simply couldn’t show us the true numbers with any meaningful fidelity (given the tools currently available to detect AI content).
This did not need to be a gif lasting an entire minute.
I’m gonna set the advanced search before nov 2022 as there are (almost) no chance seeing any ai article at all.
Data is *not* beautiful if presented slowly like that, just post a proper graph.
What I would love to know, too, is if and how we can even distinguish proper content from AI generated slop. It is my understanding that detection reliability is shaky at best.
I remember before the AI boom when all OpenAI had in regards to a LLM was OpenAI playground. You had to be on a waiting list for MONTHS to even gain access to DALL-E 2 image generation, which was complete ass fyi. Now you can readily generate photorealistic videos with little restriction. It’s completely insane how little regulation there is regarding AI.
How are they determining this? There’s no way they’re analyzing all the new content online accurately. AI detectors are highly unreliable.
How do you even find this data or verify if it’s true?
I feel like 90% of the comments critical of this are AI bots. If you don’t feel the change that has occurred in journalism after AI came, you are either blind or stupid.
Well I’m still a human article writer, at least for now.
AI doesn’t do a very good job of covering recent events.
At this point I am willing to pay real money for guaranteed human content, but is anyone even offering that?

For folks who don’t wanna watch all that
AI detection software is notoriously unreliable. I’m not sure how this data could possibly be accurate.
