The financial boosters and backers of the artificial intelligence industry like to argue that, for better or worse, the ubiquity of AI-generated content is inevitable in the near future.
For all of us living in the world of their making, we know 1) it's basically been for the worse and 2) it doesn't have to be inevitable.
There are probably some uses for AI that are helpful in some capacity, but for many of us, our experience with the big plagiarism computers is seeing them used as… big plagiarism computers.
Take the case of Phil Steele's annual college football preview. The preseason magazine has been published since 1995 and is a foundational text for anyone covering the sport year after year. Before the advent of our glorious AI-driven future, when you bought a book ****** led Phil Steele's College Football Preview, you could feel confident that you were purchasing a preview of the coming college football season written by Phil Steele. That is simply no longer the case.
As Steele laid out on his site, there are several books on Amazon using his name to sell what appear to be AI slop knockoffs of his work.
