The Dead Internet_ Unraveling the AI Takeover Conspiracy
Published 5 days, 12 hours ago
Description
In recent years, a gripping conspiracy theory has captured the imagination of many internet users, known as the 'Dead Internet' theory. This theory suggests that since around 2016, our beloved World Wide Web has experienced a significant shift. Imagine logging onto social media, scrolling through posts, only to realize that a vast portion of that content may not be generated by real people but by bots and AI. Proponents of this idea believe that this transformation is deliberate, aimed at manipulating public perceptions and controlling the flow of information.
Let’s rewind a bit. The theory first emerged around 2016, positing that a majority of the online content we encounter may, in fact, come from automated systems rather than genuine human engagement. Supporters assert that government agencies or big corporations are orchestrating this onslaught of AI-generated material. Sounds wild, right? But it becomes even more intriguing as we explore the impact of advanced AI technology in recent years.
