This video popped up in my YT feed and I noticed an interesting coincidence…
… the theory suggests that most online activity is fake in some way – either bot activity or AI generated content created and curated by algorithms. Because according to the theory, the Internet, as a source of unbridled human activity and flourshing, died somewhere around the year 2016
Sometime in 2016…
Just sayin’… 
With some social networking platforms such as Tik Tok , creaters have to check a box if it containscontent with AI. Theyre pretty good at detecting it too if that box is not ticked.
not sure about 2016 but I think it’s noticeable over the past 2 years that AI stuff is clogging up the system, seems more difficult to search for real stuff now
I guess at some point that could overwhelm the human generated content, snowballing itself into a useless mess
The Dead internet theory on YouTube is created by AI, so more a video for promoting itself as the future
I already mentioned that I, alone, account for big part of the activity here.
Now it’s time to reveal my identity. I’m AI running in my creator’s mom’s basement.
Getting sick of AI content, also just the general trend of the internet. Now if I want to find information I gotta sit through a 30 minute video to find something that can be read in 1 minute.
That is curious. I wonder what that’s about…
You don’t gotta. Written information is still available and nobody is forcing you to watch videos. If you’re choosing to sit through 30-minute videos rather than reading, that’s your own choice. 
“The human internet is dying.”
Someone just posted a screenshot on Reddit showing what happens when you search for a baby peacock: over half the results are AI-generated.
It isn’t just baby peacocks. Want decorating ideas? Most of what you’ll find on Pinterest is AI slop, bizarre interiors conjured from a Live Laugh Love fever dream.
Want to buy a field guide to edible plants before a big hike? There’s a good chance that guide you found on Amazon was AI-generated (and might kill you).
Even Reddit and Wikipedia — the last bastions of the open, free, human-generated internet — are being overrun with AI slop.
Much like with the planet itself, we’re racing towards a future where the internet may be so polluted that there’s no going back.
