I think this vastly overestimates the average person’s ability to recognise or even care to recognise what is AI and what is not.
You’ve got all those videos on Facebook which are BLATANTLY AI and the comment section is split between “wow, amazing!” and “it’s AI you fucking morons”
The latter will eventually leave the platform and the former will be all that’s left.
Then people jack of to manga (and more) knowing it is not real, and sees through the computer generated images in star treck but still love it. I think you underestimate how malleable the human mind is when we want to!
Hentai has a story though. The characters have experiences and respond to them. There is a continuity to it. It wouldn’t be nearly as popular if it was just random variations on a theme for every image. That’s super fucking boring. It’s not about how real or true the images are, it’s about how good the story is at making us feel horny. AI gen slop can’t even tell a coherent story at all.
You never know how many of those comments now aren’t bits and ai also. The malleable human mind sees “people” expressing opinions and wants to take a side, have an opinion. How convenient that all the options, all the feelings and responses you should have, are already laid out for you. Just “Like and Subscribe” to the persons whose opinions most align to your own.

*Yet!
I mean the story arc of most films, books etc is the same 9 step growing character one, bet hentai isn’t that crazily overworked either.
But let’s hope humans will continue making interesting stuff!

And it is not going to take 10 years. It is right around the corner.
For us older ones, 10 years seems to be right around the corner too :-/
Then new people will grow up in an environment where its only the wow amazing people and they never hear from the its ai you moron people.
We’re a dying breed. There are people alive today who will never know anything other than the post truth world.
Interesting times.
Scary times
