Rohan Paul tweets: The Economist: AI has pushed the internet’s content machine into a new phase, with books, lawsuits, research papers, apps, and songs now being produced at volumes that old review systems were not built to handle. Amazon e-book releases rose from about 100,000 a month before ChatGPT-3.5 to roughly 300,000 by late 2025, and detection tools suggest AI-generated text drove much of that jump. US self-filed civil lawsuits doubled to 41,000 from 2023 to 2025, with 18% of sampled 2026 complaints flagged as AI-written, yet their success rate did not fall. Research is seeing the same pressure, as arXiv submissions keep rising, rejection rates have more than doubled since 2023, and one study found 57% of 2025 papers carried AI-influenced language, up from 12% in 2023. Coding agents have also changed software output, with new iOS App Store releases now above 100,000 a month after sitting below 50,000 last May. In Music production, 75,000 AI songs are arriving daily, up from 10,000, while 44% of new uploads are AI-made and 97% of listeners in one survey could not reliably tell the difference.
