Dead Internet Theory

Historically the theory is dumb because it was supposed to have started in 2016/2017, but bots back then weren’t sophisticated enough (the Transformer architecture wasn’t even invented until 2017). With the GPT-5 generation I can see it becoming possible, though
It's more than that but I get what you're saying. It's also about how algorithms destroyed any sense of individuality and writing styles to engage. Bots have been crazy for the past few years, read any YouTube comment section and you'll literally start noticing how many people and bots are intermingling with each other. Sure people like us get it, but this forum is basically a handful of what's left of how people connect. It's gotten so bad I'm sure the only reason Reddit started backing off the API shit was because Google and duck duck go said most people type "Reddit" after a question to find a result not filtered through shit

Kinda describes Chrome’s home page where half the news links are from sites with seemingly AI generated articles with almost nonsensical word salad. Can’t we just use AI for the benefit of mankind, like AI generated porn.

The amount of bots I got following me on Twitter is insane.
