AI's Dominance Over Digital Content: A Report Reveals Reasons and Challenges

In light of the rapid development of artificial intelligence, a recent report by the SEO analytics company "Graphite" revealed that more than half of all new written content on the internet is produced by artificial intelligence. This significant shift reflects the widespread adoption of AI tools in various fields and their increasing impact on the digital landscape.

Generative AI is known as a branch of artificial intelligence that uses generative models to produce text, images, videos, audio files, code, or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data and use them to generate new data based on inputs, which are often in the form of natural language prompts.

The report indicates that this significant rise in AI-generated content began to accelerate sharply since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022. Within just one year of its release, AI-produced articles accounted for approximately 39% of all articles published online. This percentage peaked in January 2025, reaching 55%.

However, researchers note that this percentage has recently stabilized relatively, and they do not expect the massive flood of AI-produced articles to continue at the same pace. They hypothesize that this is because practitioners have observed that AI-generated articles do not perform well in search results, as shown by a separate study. This could be an indication that search engines, such as Google, are using their own AI technologies to detect and avoid AI-generated content.

Impact of AI on Content Quality and Audience Preferences

Despite continuous improvements in AI-generated content detection tools, the rapid evolution of AI may make distinguishing between human and machine-generated content more challenging in the future. Nevertheless, studies indicate that the public still prefers human content, with research from the Pew Research Center finding that only 2% of Americans regularly rely on AI for news, while 75% say they never do, and many do not trust the accuracy of information received from these sources.
