No, they've fallen apart in the past too when there's a wave of overzealous idiots. It's just in the past you could ignore the problem and it would go away naturally because humans are generally speaking lazy and aren't going to keep it up long-term.
The only thing AI has done is made the barrier to entry drop through the floor. It is made an existing problem that is always been there more noticeable.
The problem is not caused by AI. It's not caused by the people who use AI. They are THE problem.
What caused the problem is decades of ignoring the problem and never finding a solution to a problem. Everyone with 2 seconds to stop and think about it. Knows has been a problem.
If you leave a hole in the floor, you can't be mad. When rats start crawling up through it. The rat is a problem but you ignoring to fix the obvious problem that you've known about is the reason it's a problem.
