And with AI ingesting said floods of information, there's less incentive to read as well.

Case in point, I've let AI help me write some documentation; I'd probably end up writing just as much in the end so I don't think there was much waste, but in the back of my head there's two voices now.

The one says "nobody will actually read this. I wouldn't, but I think it should be written down just in case".

But the other says "an AI will ingest all of this and give everything equal consideration, unlike most humans"

So yes, it is getting noisier, but as long as there's enough oversight and aggressive editing / cutting, it's probably manageable and hopefully helpful for our AI overlords.
