I kind of disagree that this is "everywhere." To address the places the writer mentions:

LinkedIn - I avoid it for that reason, though I'd put it the other way around: long before the rise of AI, content on LinkedIn read as if it was written by an AI. Who has the time to waste on that? Not me.

X - this is the Internet HQ of low quality content. This is why people who don't like that don't go there.

Reddit - I don't see AI slop "everywhere" here. It seems like, a few times, a bot has managed to post an interesting headline with a story under it that has gotten upvotes. That's alright: let AI have the win. It's not that disruptive.

Outside these areas I don't see this as a problem.

AI content does show up on the Internet on low quality AdSense monetized content blogs, but that's a known problem: even before AI, those were common denominator places. That will always be their niche. I don't think AI made them much worse tbh.
