AI slop is suffocating the web, says a new study
Briefly

The article discusses the ongoing generative AI revolution, with OpenAI's GPT-4.5 model and Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet being central to recent developments. A study from Cornell University reveals the increasing use of AI-generated content in areas like consumer complaints and press releases, showing a tenfold rise in AI involvement following the launch of ChatGPT. This trend raises concerns about the quality of information available online, as AI-generated content floods various sectors. Particularly, states like Arkansas, Missouri, and North Dakota show higher adoption rates of AI in customer complaints.
The ease of use of these AI models is having a material impact on the information we encounter daily, according to a new study published in Cornell University's preprint server arXiv.
