But, at least with creative works rather than technical, whether or not a work was machine-generated is very important to me. If I can't tell, it makes me less interested in new creative works in general.

I already mostly ignore new recorded music because of this problem.

An AI detector (if it were reliable) would at least help with that issue.

But this is only about machine-generated works that are trying to pass as human works. If machine-generated works don't do that -- if they become their own kind of genre -- that's an entirely different thing.

But by "machine-generated" don't you mean "text that came out of an AI model"? My argument in the post is that such output tells us very little about how much human input went into the original work. It's all lumped together as AI slop.
