I feel like all of this research is extremely dubious. There's basically no way to know how much of the internet is AI or not. It's indistinguishable in most cases and especially at scale.
It is a fully rational conclusion, a logical inevitability, and what we are all seeing. But I guess if you can't prove it by some ever changing subjective standard, it isn't happening.
I'm not saying that it isn't happening. The opposite, I personally believe it is happening on a large scale. But I feel that it's extremely hard to measure and I'm not convinced any of these numbers are correct.
