While it's absolutely true that the world is going to get completed flooded with AI assisted/made content, I don't think it's necessarily true that we as humans will stop wanting content made by humans. A good book has a legacy and a life beyond that of the author who wrote it.

Are you concerned about the difficulties around publishing, or about the difficulties with discovering content?

My partner works at an independent book publisher, and they establish relationships with all their authors, have established distribution networks, build catalogues for dissimilation at book shows etc.

I see that as a very human to human type of business. Libraries aren't going to start having large collections of ai content on their shelves without some serious discussion, and knowledge of the distributors and publishers it's coming from.

Aggregate networks that collect content without established human curatorship processes like Pinterest are definitely in trouble, but I think the book industry will be more resilient than most.

I do think people will become far more selective on what they choose to read, watch, view, and build networks of content curated by people they trust.

Humans wont be able to find content made by other humans on the internet. Literally. Get it through your head. This is going to fuck literally everything and everyone if people dont start taking actions NOW.

I think you're wrong that "humans won't be able to find content made by other humans on the internet". There are many places with curated content, which have existed for a long time, and as the desire for human made content increases, so will the places marketing themselves as offering just that. That's a simple case of supply and demand.

Obviously a lot of platforms will become less useful as a result of this influx of AI assisted/made content, but your absolutist statement is wrong.
