I just saw a TV commercial for a special series the local news is doing on traffic issues, and they used several quick background graphics, and at least one quick film clip that were obviously AI-generated.
You can argue over the appropriateness of AI, but most people would agree that it doesn’t belong anywhere near a news broadcast. If you don’t have footage, it is highly unethical to create footage to juice up your news reports.
It’s only pervasive because the AI companies are losing money on every generated token while burning investor money to keep the lights on. If people had to pay for what it really costs they’d be using it a lot less.

I think you responded to the wrong comment.
I was responding to you finally noticing how pervasive it is getting.
