When will AI generated content have been prevalent enough for it to be consumed more than traditional content - and can we at that point consider humans the ones being trained, especially new humans, such that next gen human generated content clearly is heavily influenced by slop?

I myself already feel like my style is being influenced by all conversations I've had with LLM, if not influenced by their responses, at last influenced by how I talk to it.

I sometimes wonder if much upcoming human creative work will be quite avant-garde, out there, ultra-stylised and/or difficult to comprehend (or even devoid of intent or message), as a reaction to AI's sort of 'common denominator' approach.

Already happened, most of the internet pre-AI was just human-generated SEO-optimized slop created by underpaid content writers in third world countries. All those listicles, informaticals, etc, are now currently being used to train AI, but before that, they were what "trained" humans.
