„The Dead Internet Theory…“

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_Theory

„Dead Internet Theory

Die Dead Internet Theory (englisch für „Theorie des toten Internets“) ist eine Verschwörungstheorie, die behauptet, dass die meisten Interaktionen im Internet, insbesondere in den sozialen Medien, von Bots statt von echten Menschen durchgeführt würden. Manchmal wird die Theorie auch ohne verschwörungstheoretischen Bezug benannt, um das zunehmende Aufkommen von qualitativ schlechten, KI-generierten Inhalten zu kritisieren.“

„Aussage:
Die „Dead Internet Theory“ besteht aus zwei Behauptungen. Zum einen behauptet die Theorie, das Internet sei ab 2016 oder 2017 „tot“. Damit ist gemeint, dass hauptsächlich Bots interagieren würden und die menschliche Interaktion nur noch einen Bruchteil ausmache. Zum anderen geht damit meistens die Annahme einher, dass eine geheime Gruppe (oder eine künstliche Intelligenz selbst) das Internet nutzten, um Einfluss auf die öffentliche Meinungsbildung via Desinformation und Fake News zu nehmen. Wo oder wann die Theorie aufkam oder wer sie verbreitete, ist unklar. Man geht davon aus, dass die Theorie spätestens 2021 in verschiedenen Internetforen infolge des Hypes um ChatGPT und anderen großen Sprachmodellen verbreitet wurde.“

„Evidenz und Kritik: Seltsame KI-generierte Bilder werden häufig als Beleg für die Theorie aufgeführt.

Als vermeintliche Belege werden die zunehmende Präsenz von Bots, KI-generierte Inhalte und scheinbar repetitive Online-Diskurse angeführt. Unter anderem das Aufkommen von „KI-Influencern“, die selbständig Inhalte generieren, sei dafür symptomatisch. Auf den sozialen Medien berichteten Nutzer immer wieder von dem Eindruck, dass immer mehr Bots aufkämen, die KI-generierte Inhalte spammen würden.

Dem gegenüber steht allerdings das Ergebnis des „Bad Bot Reports“ des privaten Unternehmens Imperva. Für das Jahr 2024 stellte der Bericht fest, dass „nur“ etwas weniger als die Hälfte aller Internetinteraktionen nicht-menschlichen Ursprunges waren, wobei einige gerade dieses Ergebnis als Beleg für die Theorie sehen.“

„Die komplexe Realität des Internets werde zu sehr vereinfacht und man zöge viel zu übertriebene Schlussfolgerungen.

Obwohl die Theorie weitgehend als unbegründet gilt, hat sie Diskussionen über den wachsenden Einfluss von KI im Internet angeregt. Sie wird auch durchaus als ein mögliches dystopisches Zukunftszenario ernst genommen.“

„According to Wikipedia:
The Dead Internet Theory is a conspiracy theory suggesting that the internet “died” sometime around 2016–2017 and is now largely dominated by bots and AI-generated content rather than real people.“

But there’s something even more surprising about this theory that nobody’s talking about.
…
Most of the internet is made up of bots and AI content.
And it will only get worse.
…
On the other hand, there is an endless supply of hyper-addictive, brain-dead content that people can scroll through at any given time.“

„Es ist zu erwarten, dass wir uns nur am Anfang dieser Entwicklung befinden. Experten vom »Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies« prognostizieren sogar, dass bis 2030 99 Prozent der Inhalte im Internet KI-generiert sein werden.

Das Internet ist also nicht gestorben, wie es die »Dead Internet Theory« beschreibt, es könnte in Zukunft jedoch wohl wirklich dazu kommen, dass das World Wide Web stärker von Bots, als von Menschen besiedelt wird.“

„The dead Internet theory is a conspiracy theory that asserts, due to a coordinated and intentional effort, the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content manipulated by algorithmic curation to control the population and minimize organic human activity. Proponents of the theory believe these social bots were created intentionally to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to manipulate consumers. Some proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception. The date given for this „death“ is generally around 2016 or 2017. The dead Internet theory has gained traction because many of the observed phenomena are quantifiable, such as increased bot traffic, but the literature on the subject does not support the full theory.“

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

„ClaimsThe dead Internet theory has two main components: that organic human activity on the web has been displaced by bots and algorithmically curated search results, and that state actors are doing this in a coordinated effort to manipulate the human population. The first part of this theory, that bots create much of the content on the internet and perhaps contribute more than organic human content, has been a concern for a while, with the original post by „IlluminatiPirate“ citing the article „How Much of the Internet Is Fake? Turns Out, a Lot of It, Actually“ in New York magazine. The Dead Internet Theory goes on to include that Google, and other search engines, are censoring the Web by filtering content that is not desirable by limiting what is indexed and presented in search results. While Google may suggest that there are millions of search results for a query, the results available to a user do not reflect that. This problem is exacerbated by the phenomenon known as link rot, which is caused when content at a website becomes unavailable, and all links to it on other sites break. This has led to the theory that Google is a Potemkin village, and the searchable Web is much smaller than we are led to believe. The Dead Internet Theory suggests that this is part of the conspiracy to limit users to curated, and potentially artificial, content online.“

Conspiracy Revelation: 13.2.2025: FACTS, Google censors like hell, because we all know it is the American Ideology of Totalitarian Censorship, Dominion-Attempt and Control by its paranoid overbloated total invasive Corporate Oligarchic-NWO-Mil-Intelligence Apparatus, that messes with Organic Timelines and undisturbed and fair Natural World Unfoldment to the Maximum extent, especially uses all new invented High Tech, like A.I. to weaponize it against the entire Planet, all Populations and naturally also the Internet, as a fundamental Invention of DARPA.

YOUTUBE (Zion plus the FEDs plus their Agencies, primarily NSA, as the biggest Proponent of Invasive Crimes Against Humanity, in Germany BND/CIA/DOD also) killed the Music Labels and Music Compact Disc Merchandise in 2005 and the Alphabet Intel Apparatus gave people Morgellons and WBAN/Intraban/MBAN/IEEE DARPA/DOD Body Area and BCI DNA Sabotage at the same time in EU, instead of Absolute Freedom!!!

„The second half of the dead Internet theory builds on this observable phenomenon by proposing that the U.S. government, corporations, or other actors are intentionally limiting users to curated, and potentially artificial AI-generated content, to manipulate the human population for a variety of reasons. In the original post, the idea that bots have displaced human content is described as the „setup“, with the „thesis“ of the theory itself focusing on the United States government being responsible for this, stating: „The U.S. government is engaging in an artificial intelligence-powered gaslighting of the entire world population.““

„The dead Internet theory is sometimes used to refer to the observable increase in content generated via large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT appearing in popular Internet spaces“

„Evidence: Large language models:

Generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) are a class of large language models (LLMs) that employ artificial neural networks to produce human-like content. The first of these to be well known was developed by OpenAI. These models have created significant controversy. For example, Timothy Shoup of the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies said in 2022, „in the scenario where GPT-3 ‚gets loose‘, the internet would be completely unrecognizable“. He predicted that in such a scenario, 99% to 99.9% of content online might be AI-generated by 2025 to 2030. These predictions have been used as evidence for the dead internet theory.

In 2024, Google reported that its search results were being inundated with websites that „feel like they were created for search engines instead of people“. In correspondence with Gizmodo, a Google spokesperson acknowledged the role of generative AI in the rapid proliferation of such content and that it could displace more valuable human-made alternatives. Bots using LLMs are anticipated to increase the amount of spam, and run the risk of creating a situation where bots interacting with each other create „self-replicating prompts“ that result in loops only human users could disrupt.

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot whose late 2022 release to the general public led journalists to call the dead internet theory potentially more realistic than before. Before ChatGPT´s release, the dead internet theory mostly emphasized government organizations, corporations, and tech-literate individuals. ChatGPT gives the average internet user access to large-language models. This technology caused concern that the Internet would become filled with content created through the use of AI that would drown out organic human content.

Bot traffic
In 2016, the security firm Imperva released a report on bot traffic and found that automated programs were responsible for 52% of web traffic. This report has been used as evidence in reports on the dead Internet theory. Imperva´s report for 2023 found that 49.6% of internet traffic was automated, a 2% rise on 2022 which was partly attributed to artificial intelligence models scraping the web for training content.

Facebook

AI-generated image of „Shrimp Jesus“

In 2024, AI-generated images on Facebook, referred to as „AI slop“, began going viral. Subjects of these AI-generated images included various iterations of Jesus „meshed in various forms“ with shrimp.. next to artwork they supposedly created. Many of those said iterations have hundreds or even thousands of AI comments that say „Amen“. These images have been referred as an example for why the Internet feels „dead.“

Facebook includes an option to provide AI-generated responses to group posts. Such responses appear if a user explicitly tags @MetaAI in a post, or if the post includes a question and no other users have responded to it within an hour.

In January 2025, interest renewed in the theory following statements from Meta on their plans to introduce new AI powered autonomous accounts. Connor Hayes, vice-president of product for generative AI at Meta stated, “We expect these AIs to actually, over time, exist on our platforms, kind of in the same way that accounts do…They’ll have bios and profile pictures and be able to generate and share content powered by AI on the platform.”“

„Elon Musk´s acquisition of Twitter
The proportion of Twitter accounts run by bots became a major issue during Elon Musk´s acquisition of the company…. Musk commissioned the company Cyabra to estimate what percentage of Twitter accounts were bots, with one study estimating 13.7% and another estimating 11%… Some bot accounts provide services, such as one noted bot that can provide stock prices when asked, while others troll, spread misinformation, or try to scam users. Believers in the dead Internet theory have pointed to this incident as evidence.“

„TikTok
In 2024, TikTok began discussing offering the use of virtual influencers to advertisement agencies. In a 2024 article in Fast Company, journalist Michael Grothaus linked this and other AI-generated content on social media to the Dead Internet Theory. In this article, he referred to the content as „AI-slime“.“

„YouTube „The Inversion“
On YouTube, there is a market online for fake views to boost a video´s credibility and reach broader audiences. At one point, fake views were so prevalent that some engineers were concerned YouTube´s algorithm for detecting them would begin to treat the fake views as default and start misclassifying real ones. YouTube engineers coined the term „the Inversion“ to describe this phenomenon. YouTube bots and the fear of „the Inversion“ were cited as support for the dead Internet theory in a thread on the internet forum Melonland.

SocialAI, an app created on September 18, 2024, was created with the full purpose of chatting with only AI bots without human interaction. Its creator was Michael Sayman, a former product lead at Google who also worked at Facebook, Roblox, and Twitter. An article on the Ars Technica website linked SocialAI to the Dead Internet Theory.“
