I dunno. If people can’t be bothered to write stuff anymore, I doubt they will be bothered to read it either. Also, the model deviates towards the mean by its very design.

If people can't be bothered to write anymore, then I will be very picky about what I read. I will probably do more research and make sure it is someone I trust to have written it themselves not relied on trash machines.

I've been picky about what I read ever since human written slop seemed to peak in the late 2010's, articles written by humans to appeal to search engines are almost just as worthless as AI slop.

This volume of garbage is certainly much more concerning, though.
