With all these different forms of AI taking the internet by storm, I feel that very soon it will be indistinguishable whether or not something was AI generated. With midjourney being able to create photo real images (with some artifacts), deepfake technology, and chatgpt writing convincingly human text, it seems like the trend is that it will eventually overtake the amount of actual human creation out there.
Of course this can only affect the digital realm, but there is no doubt that what's on the internet has ripple effects on the real world. People are already worried about "disinformation" and "fake news" from real people who are either lying or are just misinformed. What happens when people start citing articles that were written not by a human, but by an AI? It may be my pessimism, but I cannot see a future where the reliability of the information we find on the internet is not questioned at every step, which makes it all the more difficult to form opinions and know what's happening out in the world.

It can't be much further, we're finally beginning to clear some really important benchmarks, like the fact we now have AI that can transcribe human speech with the same level of accuracy as humans (~95%). I mean things like that open up every door
