> But the driving force behind this seems not to be to identify that something is AI, but because they spite it so (AI writing), to quickly rule out caring about the material.

Your expressed concern is "people don't like AI; this dislike motivates people to dismiss the material".

I think it's misguided to assume motivation.

For myself, I dislike the writing style because it's insincere and inauthentic. If the author isn't motivated enough to write out something in their own words, what's there to motivate a reader?

> The problem I see this leading to is plenty of legitimate written things getting thrown away because somebodys online exposure bubbles don't end up

Do you have any actual examples where legitimate writing was dismissed as written by AI? If not, I'd suggest your concern is hypothetical.
