The following report is by The Trends Journal:
Content generated by bots, AI, and other non-human sources is known as “synthetic media” because it’s not been directly created by humans.
“In most cases, synthetic media is generated for gaming, to improve services, or to improve the quality of life,” the report states. However, “the increase in synthetic media and improved technology has given rise to disinformation possibilities,” the report said.
In one such instance, Jane Friedman, who writes guidebooks for writers and self-publishers, found books for sale on Amazon that she didn’t write but that carried her name on the cover.
After looking over the books, she said they were “bloviating garbage…repetitive, like a really bad student essay [and] didn’t have anything meaningful.
Whoever’s doing this is obviously preying on writers who trust my name and think I’ve actually written these books. I have not. Most likely, they’ve been generated by AI.
Friedman said in a public statement.
Friedman asked Amazon to remove the books from its website. The company refused but later removed them after the Authors Guild interceded on Friedman’s behalf.
At least one other author has complained about the same problem.
TRENDPOST: If 90 percent of online content will be useless by 2026, we don’t have far to go.
Already, social media is increasingly shot through with bot-made posts or political hysteria meant to inflame partisans of one stripe or another.
As we noted in “It’s Official: Social Media Is Now Worthless” (4 Apr 2023), technology has once again moved far beyond human ability to cope wisely with it.
Some AI experts are urging AI programmers to embed watermarks or other IDs in their code so anything created by an AI will be automatically identified as such.
Until some forms of safeguards are developed and routinely used, assume any message or photo on social media is a lie unless it comes from someone you personally know and trust. Similarly, confirm any information posted online with at least one independent source before you believe it.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This reality is not difficult to see at all based on the evidence and things discussed in this report, and what we know the mainstream has already indicated is going to happen.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Proverbs 12:24
Already so many networks and news agencies are turning to AI to formulate, frame, and curate the content, via AI avatars or just chatbots writing the scripts and stories. And like The TJ pointed out, social media and online platforms are so fake anymore most comments cannot believed as being genuine, because they are either bots or paid shills, and even government and news agencies leading people astray with fake profiles.
Moreover, when factoring in the EU’s draconian Digital Services Act (DSA) so many people will be eventually booted from online, so I would not be surprised at all if AI then comes in and really replaces so much content thereafter.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’d say we are 50% there already, only trust your KJV1611 Bible in real paper and in your hands, not on some “drive or devise”.
People will go back to work with more physical labour perhaps
