We're just trapped in the present day tech zeitgeist. Taking a step back and looking at things on a longer time scale, you'll see there has always been good people to keep things in balance, and the general state of things improves over time. There are great people working on tools to identify AI generated content, and even regular people will eventually catch up to the impact generative AI brings and adapt accordingly, like most other technologies / developments.

I'm optimistic we'll pull through.

Hey, don’t forget the thirty years war after the invention of printing press
