I believe that this is a non-problem pushed forward by small-scale experiments that are not representative of what people actually do with AI generation. A lot of new content, while AI generated, has been hand picked and polished by a human (for example, while you might commit AI generated code to your codebase, you ensure that it is correct and follows your preferred style). Content farms will push gibberish out, but they did so, and worse, before and the first generation of models was able to train on the internet anyway.

i think it's pretty much a problem and it's going to ruin any chance of high quality, original content.

look at the original internet content and what seo has done to it. google and search in general results are trash nowadays. this is what genAI is going to do over long term. garbage in garbage out.
