I went on a quest to find out if AI is already secretly writing a lot of the stuff we read online. I found more than I ever imagined.

From online recipes to mattress reviews to celebrity horoscopes, human writing is fast becoming the exception on the internet, rather than the rule.

My story today: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/05/05/ai-spam-websites-books-chatgpt/

He wrote a book on a rare subject. Then a ChatGPT replica appeared on Amazon.

The web has long been full of spammy content. AI is on the verge of making it much worse.
