I feel like all of this research is extremely dubious. There's basically no way to know how much of the internet is AI or not. It's indistinguishable in most cases and especially at scale.
On scale using tools that detect likelihood of AI would work quite well.
For me the biggest challenge is sampling. I guess if you got all posts within a few minutes from each over and repeat that (to deal with time zone bias). I think it's possible but I'd want to look at the methodology from the primary source
It is a fully rational conclusion, a logical inevitability, and what we are all seeing. But I guess if you can't prove it by some ever changing subjective standard, it isn't happening.
I'm not saying that it isn't happening. The opposite, I personally believe it is happening on a large scale. But I feel that it's extremely hard to measure and I'm not convinced any of these numbers are correct.
