Some have predicted that the amount of AI-generated data and information is due to outnumber human-generated by up to 90% some time in 2026.
What about the cost of creation? $0.10 versus $10
When thinking about what AI-generated is, as a thing, we tend to forget (or perhaps not understand that) we humans are the data model, so the onus is on us.
At the moment, most AI agents don’t have access to up-to-the-minute data, but that’s bound to change (think of that as a tomorrow problem).
While these agents are more than capable of articulating statistics (hallucinations aside) that include us and what we’ve accomplished as some sort of homogenised average, they know nothing of the specifics that make us who we are: what we think; and how we think.
So, in time, I imagine that 10% would be where the valuable uniqueness is to be found, because it’d be the exact same place our inimitable human qualities would be found.
