The total amount of generated untrustworthy content is irrelevant. People must learn to only read content from trusted sources, and then it won't matter how much misinformation is being published in other places.

It was never difficult to publish large amounts of misinformation, AI is only making it cheaper.

If the signal/noise ratio dramatically decreases then finding trustworthy sources in the first place becomes more difficult.

Of course it is relevant. Discerning which sources to trust takes valuable time. Sources which were once trusted may need to be reevaluated.

What is the difference between difficulty and expense?
