Algorithms will have to adopt to a world with copied content. It’s just too easy to create AI content in all forms (text, audio, video). I think the human element will ironically become more important for determining quality.

I would guess that the majority of content published online today (60%+) is recycled, copy paste, or reactionary.

Most people aren’t creating anything original, it just doesn’t seem that way because of how we cut through the noise.
