I flip flop between seeing it as inevitable, and overly techno-optimistic. Can definitely see it both ways.
In the arms race between ML-copy generation and its detection, eventually the edge becomes "does this make sense in a coherent world-view", so there should be a natural pressure towards that outcome.
But maybe we're just not good enough at building these tools, and the incentives will align with an endless onslaught of digital sludge.
There's also the problem of: how does legitimate fiction, poetry, love stories, and art fit into a www where only the most logical is allowed to be seen? It could be a logically puritanical nightmare.
