This has been bothering me lately because I understand that in the future everything will most likely only get worse and it will be impossible to tell whether a product was made by a person or generated by AI. Of course, there won't be any normal divisions; most likely, everything will resemble a landfill, and who knows who did it AI or people, and trusting corporations, as you know, is a bad idea; they are lying hypocrites.

In that case, are there any databases or online archives containing content created exclusively by humans? That is, books, films, TV series, cartoons, etc?

I personally think you’ll have to create your own compass. Bad content is bad regardless of how it’s made. If you cannot tell the difference if a human made it or a machine, does it really matter?

Consuming something that was simply generated with minimal effort is extremely frustrating, it's like watching a crappy Netflix show, only now there aren't even real people on it, it's just generated content, and what's the point of that when I can create content for myself using AI?

Agreed. I wouldn't want to be sold something just plainly generated by someone else, especially if they didn't put any effort into it.

I have had a pretty good time coming up with stupid prompts with friends, but I think the social aspect is doing the heavy lifting.
