AI is stealing writers’ words and jobs…

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I'm trying to find it, but there was an article somewhere (was it the Atlantic before the paywall?) arguing that you'd have AIs writing posts to AI blogs and sourcing other AI-written articles in their search results, to the point that the AI part of the Internet would wind up dwarfing the human-written part of it, and you'd get a sort of 'Internet apocalypse' where the whole thing was just an AIs talking to each other.

Oh, we're already there in many Google searches. Pages just full of nonsense that it takes a moment to realize is AI craziness, all of it full of referral links to Amazon.

Sounds weird, but I know at least one science fiction magazine (appropriately or ironically?) had to shut down because of the deluge of AI-written submissions.

Clarkesworld. The owner keeps having to close submissions because “AI” written articles keep saying his magazine is a great place to submit “AI” written short stories. It’s an ongoing headache. Thankfully his love of the genre is still greater than his frustration with “AI” submissions.

Wow. It's not wrong...but wow.

To be fair, at least it recommended non-toxic glue.
