It certainly feels like the amount of regurgitated, nonsensical, generated content (nontent?) has risen spectacularly specifically in the past few years. 2021 sounds about right based on just my own experience, even though I can't point to any objective source backing that up.
Upvoted for "nontent" alone: it'll be my go-to term from now on, and I hope it catches on.
Is it of your own coinage? When the AI sifts through the digital wreckage of the brief human empire, they may give you the credit.
