I keep hearing people say AI generated text "will get better” as if that’s a known, accepted fact.

But it's not a known, accepted fact. Massive language model AI text generators have been around for YEARS, and they've always been this bad, this prone to lying, this full of shit. We’re just getting it shoved in our faces now.

“It will get better” is a bet, not a statement of fact, and I bet against it.

AI technology will surely improve.
But the things AI says... It's hard to imagine a scenario where that actually gets better.
AI trainined on nothing but things humans have said is kinda neat, but often hilariously wrong. ("Hallucinations").
Now imagine AI trained on a mixture of stuff humans have said and stuff that AI has said. (i.e. Today's internet)
Now imagine AI trained on content that is majority AI-written. (The internet of tomorrow)
