I believe that would just be fighting losing battles on a front that doesn't matter.

Content mills existed long before AI. Clickbait existed long before AI. Fake news and misinformation existed long before AI.

AI will empower things like that, but it isn't at the core of the problem.

As a user, I care that content is truthful, useful, and/or entertaining. I care that it isn't presented in a misleading way, and I care that it doesn't cause harm (hate, misinformation, etc.) - What I don't care about is who or what created it.

I think a bigger step in the right direction for society would be to empower certain groups like journalists in ways that they don't have to compete with all the crap out there.

I think clear visions, good taste, thorough fact-checking, clever prompt engineering and proper AI-result curation will all become more important in the years ahead.
