I think you will find that the easiest media to access will always be the dumbest. The trick is when to decide that you're done being the smartest person in the room and go find other rooms.
I see people complaining about this quite often, but I do not experience it. I never watch AI stuff other people are producing, but I do not participate in other social media platforms. I use all of the FOSS tools and platforms that result in no ads or content forced upon me. I watch several people on YT regularly, but I have all the tools in place to prevent ads, and of the people I watch, all have academic credentials and a reputation.
I think generative AI has a bright future, but not in some negative vane. It will supplement as a tool, not replace people or other content. All tools can be abused and many are abusing AI. There problem here is a culture of no ethics and acceptance of abuse. If you're unwilling to stop watching or using a platform, then you have proven that these techniques are viable and profitable. Your willingness to walk away is the determining factor. Over time, culture will evolve to walk away from and seek out content that fits the individual instead of self suppression to fit what is easily available.
