for now - we can identify AI slop.

in the future - yeah interaction will be at a premium and that includes all textual content - since you can't trust whether it was generated by AI or not. which means books / content pre-AI gonna more valuable.

Later on things will need to be human curated.

If you genuinely can’t tell the difference anymore is there any motivation to pay a premium?

[notnullorvoid]

It depends, can you not tell the difference because you don't know better, or you can't tell the difference because the quality and accuracy is actually good.

Only to keep human authors employed -- Once an art is lost, it's lost, and the llm cartel can only continue to operate at a loss for so long before the piper needs paid

[hiccuphippo]

Human authors will not write but direct the AIs on what to write. Then they'll syndicate that to AI companies so they can keep their AI fresh. Like an ouroboros eating its own tail.
