I don't see why people would even go to a site to read AI generated articles and be bombarded with ads. I could just ask an AI to write an article for me? Just cut out the middle man at that point.

    Doesn't have to be voluntary on the user's part. Maybe they clicked a link on Google? Or maybe a site they've been reading for ages suddenly switches to "AI editors" and it's never really announced to the users in a clear way
