At least those horrible things required human effort to make, so there was a limited quantity. An unlimited supply of content that a human had no part in making is completely new territory

It's not obvious to me why the non-human origin matters here. Eventually AI will get so good that you can't even tell the difference, or if you can, it's because it's so high quality.

In my mind the meat of the issue is the amount of time we spend watching that content, and less so who made it.

Non human origin matters because it's easy to flood the field with this stuff.

If finding quality videos becomes a needle in a haystack amidst ai generated bullshit, each looking to passively earn a few bucks, overall quality of life will suffer as the ouroboros eats its tail.
