They can, in theory. But when the signal to noise ratio gets too low, it becomes prohibitively difficult to filter out the garbage. Thus I don't think it's true that more people creating things is a pure benefit. It may not even prove to be a benefit at all, on net.

That's what critics are for. In our decentralized media environment it is not difficult to find critics for whatever youre interested in

Critics has the same issue, they will also be mostly AI generated. How do you find the good non-AI generated and unpaid critics in the future?

Same as it’s always been. Test the waters until you find someone with a consistent preference that lines up with your own. Personally I don’t really care if a critic is ai as long as its preferences are consistent and align with my own. If you dont find yourself relating to a critics take the great thing is that it’s easy to switch.
