Is AI destroying the internet? Well, the internet is already dead, but AI Slop and disinformation are definitely making it…deader?
Remember when the internet used to be a fun place to discover new things, connect with friends, and play games without your every move being tracked? Well, unfortunately that is not the case anymore, because the internet as we know it is officially dead, and in this episode we perform an “autopsy” to determine where it all went wrong.
We start by exploring the Dead Internet Theory, a hypothesis that the modern internet is no longer driven mostly by human activity, but that the majority of traffic is actually bots and AI generated content. We discuss how AI Slop is causing the enshitification of the internet, how AI automation has fuelled the spread of disinformation, and some tips and tricks for how you can fight back!
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- What the Dead Internet Theory is, and how Artificial Intelligence has supercharged the enshitification of the internet.
- How AI Slop, Deep Fakes, and new forms of mis- and disinformation are harming people while creating terrible online experiences.
- What you can do to fight back; including tips and tricks for spotting and avoiding AI slop and deepfakes, tools you can use to better curate your news, and more!
