There are a lot of use cases where I definitely don't mind AI-generated text. Keyword-focused search results, for instance.

If I'm Googling "what is npm" or "what are the five highest mountains in the world", I don't care one bit if the answer is from a human or a machine.

I care about it being correct. I might not care who wrote it, but as it turns out who wrote it is a good indicator of correctness.
Most of the top search results for such keywords are usually written by $30/article writers anyway. None of them have real subject matter expertise.

An AI that aggregates all the knowledge from the internet is more likely to be correct than some writer you hired off UpWork to pump out 100 keyword rich articles on 30 different topics.
