The Dead Internet Theory
In: Technology
The theory is that AI and bots are killing the internet. Bots are frequently used to create content — news organizations have used them for years, reddit has lots of karma farming bots, youtube has bot generated videos, etc…
Recently, generative AI that consumes internet content and learns from it… and uses that to create more content that is put on the internet, leading to a vicious cycle. Eventually the volume of robotic content will outpace human content and the internet is just bots reading what other bots have said and using that to create more content. Human to human interaction is dead and the purpose of the internet is dead.
