Doesn't matter. We want high-quality text - it's not necessary for it to be human-written. Social signals like upvotes or PageRank will still remain useful even if most text is AI generated.

I certainly don't want most of discussion forums to be generated by bots. I'd rather there was none of it. High-quality generated text is good for fiction and summaries, but not when you want to hear what actual humans have to say.

The point is that AIs will run out of human-generated text or that it won't be able to distinguish from AI or human generated text to train on.

You're already assuming pagerank and upvote systems won't break down in the future.

You just gotta get the AIs to do the upvoting, then cut the humans out of the loop all together and only have AIs read the AI generated text, and then everything will be fine. Just an endless death spiral of ai gen, ai filtering, and ai consumption, forever and ever.

Presumably at some point computers will become (already are for all I know?) the largest consumers of content on the internet as well as its producers.
