AI Writing Plateau: Web Content Share Stuck Near 50% for a Year
TL;DR
A new Graphite analysis of Common Crawl data finds the share of AI-generated online articles has held near 50% for more than a year. The feared total takeover of the web by AI content has not materialised. Researchers warn, however, of a feedback loop: if new models keep training on AI-generated text, output quality could collapse.
Nauti's Take
Good news: the web isn't being flooded by AI content, and human writers are holding ground. Concerning: 50% is still a huge share, and new models could poison themselves on that slop (model collapse).
Anyone betting on clean sources and original research is building a real competitive edge – credibility is becoming a currency again.
