How AI Is Secretly Writing Half the Internet — And Why You Can’t Tell Anymore

Aug 6

Written By Tyler Brayton

That article you just read?
The one about “10 Habits of Highly Effective Sleep Hackers”?

Yeah… a robot probably wrote it.

In fact, there’s a non-zero chance this post is AI-written too.
(But don’t worry — this one knows it’s self-aware.)

Welcome to 2025, where AI doesn’t just assist the internet...
It is the internet.

Wait — How Much of the Internet Is Actually AI-Written?

Let’s run the numbers:

90% of new online content is text-based
Millions of pieces are generated daily across blogs, ads, reviews, SEO dumps, newsletters
GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and open-source LLMs are churning out 24/7 word soup

Experts estimate that 40% to 60% of ALL new web content is machine-written or machine-assisted.

If you’re reading anything published after 2023 — assume it was at least touched by AI.

Why Is AI Writing Everything?

Simple:
Humans are slow. AI is instant.

Companies realized:

One writer = 1 blog/day
One AI = 10 blogs/hour
Profit = ❤️

Marketing agencies, eCommerce sites, even journalists are quietly switching to AI workflows.

Nobody told you.
But they all hit “generate” before hitting “publish.”

How You’re Being Tricked (Without Realizing It)

You think you can spot AI writing, right?
You imagine stiff, robotic sentences and generic phrasing.

But modern AI is smarter than that.

It knows:

How to mimic tone
How to reference current events
How to fake quotes, opinions, and "personal anecdotes" that never happened

That heartfelt blog about someone’s journey from burnout to fulfillment?
Might be an LLM regurgitating Reddit threads with empathy filters.

Why You Can’t Tell Anymore

Because AI doesn’t sound like a robot anymore.
It sounds like… you. And me. And your barista. And your ex who ghosted you but still reads Medium.

Language models now:

Detect & mirror human voice
Use slang and sarcasm
Mimic imperfections on purpose (yes, even typos are synthetic now)

AI isn’t trying to be perfect.
It’s trying to be believable.

And it’s winning.

So, Is This Bad?

Yes. And also... kind of awesome?

Bad:

Trust erosion — you no longer know who wrote what
Disinformation is easier to mass-produce
Human writers are undervalued or ghosted (literally and financially)
Everything starts to feel the same: helpful, inoffensive, blandly brilliant

Awesome:

Solo creators can scale content output like a team
Language no longer blocks access to information
New creativity hybrids are emerging (human-prompted, AI-generated)

It’s not good or bad.
It’s undeniable.

The Future: A Web Written by Everyone and No One

We’re moving toward:

“Synthetic Authorship”
100% AI-automated sites
Personalized content spun in real-time for you — and only you

Imagine a future where:

Your blog homepage looks totally different from mine
Because the site rewrites itself based on your habits
And you never notice — because it feels natural

That’s not science fiction.
That’s next quarter’s marketing roadmap.

Final Thought: Don’t Panic, Just Adapt

This isn’t about stopping AI.

It’s about:

Becoming more critical readers
Staying transparent as creators
Using AI as a tool — not a disguise

Because in a world where everything is technically “content,”
the real skill is learning how to prompt, filter, and stand out.

Don’t fight the tide.
Learn to surf it.
