True!

But when I encounter a web site/article/video that has obviously been touched by genAI, I add that source to a blacklist and will never see anything from it again. If more people did that, then the selfish people would start avoiding the use of genAI because using it will cause their audience to decline.

Please do tell more. Do you make it like a rule in your adblocker or something else?

I’m not convinced. The effort on their part is so low that even the lost audience (which will be far from everyone) is still probably worth it.

		I was using "blacklist" in a much more general sense, but here's how it actually plays out. Most of my general purpose website reading is done through an RSS aggregator. If one of those feeds starts using genAI, then I just drop it out of the aggregator. If it's a website that I found through web search, then I use Kagi's search refinement settings to ensure that site won't come up again in my search results. If it's a YouTube channel I subscribe to, I unsubscribe. If it's one that YouTube recommended to me, I tell YouTube to no longer recommend anything from that channel. Otherwise, I just remember that particular source as being untrustworthy.
