Junk × (AI or human) × (1 page or 10,000) = Junk
Useful × (AI or human) × (1 page or 10,000) = Useful

Every week there’s a new chart: “AI content = crash.”
Respect to all who experiment and share data in public

But correlation ≠ causation.

What the charts show:
AI + scale + crash + new site + "0" authority = correlation

What actually causes the crash:
Low content Quality + scale + no authority = crash

AI is just the fastest way to produce junk. That’s why they show up together.
The test:

Remove AI, keep the junk → still crashes.
Keep AI, remove the junk → doesn’t.
