Where does the author claim or even remotely suggest that?

They only NOW assume all ads are scams. Suggests they didn't make that assumption before, doesn't it?

And in your mind NOW always means "since GenAI is a thing"?

Most of the time, when people realize something, it happens NOW. Also, AI isn't even mentioned in the headline at all, and not even in the first part of the article. It's just used as one hint that it might be scam, then followed up with further evidence.

In the headline - the word Now implies "Ads before weren't scams but they are now"

And where in the headline is "AI"?
reply
"Here are three ads that are scammy; the first two were clearly generated by AI, and the third may have been created by AI."

The "AI" evangelists are trying to explain to us that all ads are to be trusted because they're "AI" generated now...
