World History

😱 Ark Invest just dropped some wild numbers In 2025, AI-generated words officially outnumbered words written by humans — for the first time in history. At this pace, AI will surpass the entire 500-year archive of human-written text before 2030. And it's already reshaping Telegram. Channels are quietly replacing human editors with automated tools — and one of the most interesting examples is @morty, built by the @maxim team. It finds relevant content on its own, writes it in the channel's voice, and leaves just one thing for the human: hit "Approve". More media projects are going AI-first. And according to Ark Invest, this is only the beginning.
