Dead Internet Theory: A.I. Killed the Internet
Generative A.I is the nuclear bomb of the Information Age. If the Internet doesn’t feel as creative or fun or interesting as you remember it, you’re not alone. The so-called ‘Dead Internet Theory’ explains why. The rise of artificially generated content killed the internet. How did this happen? Why? And… Is it still possible to stop it?

Why the Internet is Dead (Dead Internet Theory)
I AM NICHELESS
I come from a multilingual home so some words I say may not be pronounced with a typical American accent
Ever been an argument with someone so frustrating that you wondered if they were even real? Today we discuss The Dead Internet Theory and the two sides of it that I believe are equally interesting. ChatGPT and OpenAi are menaces to society and there's nothing we can do. Don't get me wrong I don't hate technology. Personally I do use Ai myself, mostly to enhance blurry images (see caseOh thumbnail) and I am not adverse to the technology if it's used in moderation. The problem is that the internet is not prepared for this at all and shady stuff is happening everywhere.

Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at what appears to be "The Dead Internet Theory" and how it's not a theory but objective fact as Internet traffic is slowly shifting from primarily human traffic to completely automated in a disturbing trend that could send the Internet into critical mass.

The Dead Internet Theory
The internet is dead and we are the killers. Truth no longer exists online, bots have swamped social media with misinformation, and the web pages we surf today are almost entirely generated by AI. But how exactly did we get here? And is it too late to revive it?

It's All FAKE | The Dead Internet Theory
What if all of our online existence is fake?
You, me, everyone; we're living in a real-life Matrix. Designed to distract us from the truth: that we're just drones in a digital ant-hill. We live, work and die so that the wealthy and powerful can grow more wealthy and powerful.
This is called the Dead Internet Theory. And there's compelling evidence that it's real.
Let's find out why.

Dead Internet Theory - Everyone in this video is AI generated
Inspired by the recent financial crime incident, where hackers held a video meeting with AI generated video of employees, I decided to make a video call-esque type generation to see how convincing it could be.
There are better ways to do this but for speed and resources i just used stable diffusion, with SVD and flow frames to produce short video clips ranging from 2 to 14 seconds in length which i then pieced together.
The output is not that impressive if your up to date on the latest technology, but still shows what can be achieved, if you had shown me these videos a few years ago, i wouldn't of though it was possible.
If you can tell that most of these videos are fake, then wait a couple months, if you cant tell, then welcome to the future.

I AM NICHELESS
I come from a multilingual home so some words I say may not be pronounced with a typical American accent
Ever been an argument with someone so frustrating that you wondered if they were even real? Today we discuss The Dead Internet Theory and the two sides of it that I believe are equally interesting. ChatGPT and OpenAi are menaces to society and there's nothing we can do. Don't get me wrong I don't hate technology. Personally I do use Ai myself, mostly to enhance blurry images (see caseOh thumbnail) and I am not adverse to the technology if it's used in moderation. The problem is that the internet is not prepared for this at all and shady stuff is happening everywhere. Any references to extreme tech activists are purely done in a humorous manner and are not meant to be taken seriously.

The gist of it is that the internet has apparently now been completely taken over by artificial intelligence, and is now completely empty and devoid of real human people, they even called it "entirely sterile". They go as far as saying that all the human generated content, like youtube videos is, in fact, AI generated.
The people subscribing to this theory go even further, they think this is helped by a group of influencers who are working for the government, in order to manipulate our thoughts and get us to buy stuff.
To justify this theory, they use a few things here and there, like the fact that there are so many accounts that just post the same type of stuff. They also say that deepfakes are proof that everything is AI generated.

Bots aren't inherently bad, they can just be tools, like something that displays the score for a sportsball game, or a bot that will save a message for you, or a bot that generates a haiku in a reddit post. But bots are also generally just used to spread crap and scams, and misinformation.
They're here to appeal to people, get a like or two by people who like the profile pic, I guess, and thus build legitimacy for the bot account, so it can then start spamming other videos with scams and URLS.
Which is where we can actually go back to the dead internet theory: yes, some of these bots are created to influence people's opinions on things. Just like TV channels always did, just like real humans always did in podcasts, videos, talk shows, and articles.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2024-02-28/twitter-x-fighting-bot-problem-as-ai-spam-floods-the-internet/103498070
Has it gotten worse? yes, it has.
AI isn't just used to power bots, it's also used by bots and humans to post stuff. It is the ultimate form of clickbait, one that takes 0 effort to make, looks real enough to get a quick like from people who are just scrolling with their eyes empty as they sit on their porcelain throne. This is just mimicking things that tend to go viral, but with automation.
You might be wondering: this is really crap content, no one should like this and want to watch it, or engage with it at all. Except, as I said, people who scroll over this in passing tend not to notice, and so people drop a courtesy like, or simply don't report the account. And since all platforms make use of algorithms to show you things they think you'll like, instead of things you're actually following or that you're subscribed to, this crap is shared again and again.
But that's because of money, not because of a government backed, AI driven agenda. If you show people more stuff, they spend more time on your platform, they see more ads, and the platform makes more money. And in the process, influencers with little ethics will notice that, and make their own posts more clickbaity so they can get a bigger share of that revenue.

What if all of our online existence is fake?
You, me, everyone; we're living in a real-life Matrix. Designed to distract us from the truth: that we're just drones in a digital ant-hill. We live, work and die so that the wealthy and powerful can grow more wealthy and powerful.
This is called the Dead Internet Theory. And there's compelling evidence that it's real.
Let's find out why.

Inspired by the recent financial crime incident, where hackers held a video meeting with AI generated video of employees, I decided to make a video call-esque type generation to see how convincing it could be.
There are better ways to do this but for speed and resources i just used stable diffusion, with SVD and flow frames to produce short video clips ranging from 2 to 14 seconds in length which i then pieced together.
The output is not that impressive if your up to date on the latest technology, but still shows what can be achieved, if you had shown me these videos a few years ago, i wouldn't of though it was possible.
If you can tell that most of these videos are fake, then wait a couple months, if you cant tell, then welcome to the future.
