“The “Dead Internet Theory” is a concept suggesting that the internet has largely been abandoned by humans and replaced by non-human activity. It posits that most online content, interactions, and engagement metrics are driven by bots, algorithms, and artificial intelligence, creating the illusion of a vibrant, human-driven web.”
There are way more bots now than back then, you could randomly be arguing with one somewhere. And have no idea. Users of the internet are mostly all bots now. More bots than humans.
There are also more people. Are streets not real if autonomous driving becomes a thing?
“Dead internet theory”, there are not trillions of bots on the streets arguing yet…
