Until recently, the only way to know whether the author put effort into writing the piece was to read it. Simply continue doing what you've always been doing.

That's simply not true. Before AI it took effort to write. Even rambly nonsense takes some effort, and even then rambly nonsense is usually obvious without having to read much.

AI changes things so that you can produce text that seem like it was written with care and effort very easily automatically. It requires significantly more effort from the reader to figure out that it is worthless.

It really is different.
