      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?

    4. Redditspoorly on

      This asserts that COVID made the world more virtual, but I’m fairly certain the LLMs changed the game here

    5. chundricles on

      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.

    10. doninside on

      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

    15. hungry-freaks-daddy on

      Tbf the majority of those are probably dogshit content mill websites no one has ever heard of. 

    17. MrGManWatch on

      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).

      Slop. Most of what AI produces is crap anyway, which is shown even more now that it started copying other AI slop.

    19. terroristhater2001 on

      interesting the spike around 2016 and insane seeing how fast AI has taken over the internet

    22. eternamemoria on

      Search engines have been getting less reliable for a while due to SEO and increasing amounts of paid advertising, but now that so many of the top articles for any give result are written by AI, they’ve become almost useless for certain topics.

    23. danishgoh07 on

      I’m gonna set the advanced search before nov 2022 as there are (almost) no chance seeing any ai article at all.

      Your subjective commenta are annoying and unnecessary in a data visualization. Include them in your description, if you must.

      You basically attribute the rise of AI to Covid, with zero supporting evidence.

      “Life has never been the same”. Give me a break.

    26. blackcid6 on

      Anyway most newspapers and blogs where already shit last years before AI. AI cant make them worse.

    27. SjalabaisWoWS on

      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.

    28. Forking_Shirtballs on

      On a sample size of two, I can say I hate the charts that animate what could be a very simple line graph with callouts.

      Waste of time and harder to contextualize.

    30. fast_t0aster on

      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.

    32. AnimorphsGeek on

      How are they determining this? There’s no way they’re analyzing all the new content online accurately. AI detectors are highly unreliable.

      “the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization.”

    38. AzureDreamer on

      dead internet theory is eating good rn, I am starting to hate the internet. browsers are going to have to create a way to exclude AI content soon I would switch to a browser that did that.

    39. corysreddit on

      Slop as far as the eye can see. Not a human thought for miles. Environmental collapse here we come but at least the dumbest people you know will have had a computer make the worst videos you’ve ever seen in your entire life.

    43. Luckyfinger7 on

      I used to work in programmatic advertising, and this is exactly why I switched industries at the start of 2024

    44. archivisttr on

      Why did not they started it from 1800’s, though we can,watch this silly graph forever yea?

    45. John-Crypto-Rambo on

      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.

    46. Preform_Perform on

      Well I’m still a human article writer, at least for now.

      AI doesn’t do a very good job of covering recent events.

    47. opisska on

      At this point I am willing to pay real money for guaranteed human content, but is anyone even offering that?
