Bringing this discussion up because the last post and a Forbes article from last year came up simultaneously in the past 24 hours. The Forbes article here: https://archive.is/MC2pV says that in 2024 human internet traffic only accounted for 50.4% of the total, and based on the rate of growth it’s safe to assume it’s now less than half versus bots and this isn’t even including real people who just copy paste chat gpt scripts. This is also the basis of the dead internet theory where your interactions aren’t real anymore, they’re with bots trying to shift the Overton Window.

I'm the only one here, as far as I know.
It's really time consuming logging into all these accounts to have discussions with myself.
But what else am I going to do with this free time?
Seriously though, it does feel like there's about 500 people on the internet, and the rest are either bots or english as a third language who I have trouble discerning from bot or not.
I mean, the internet had a good run. We'll all collectively have to find something else to do now that we can't trust it any longer. There's no point in finding information if it's just this AI or that bot or this other AI.
To butcher a Simpsons quote: It's malibu chatgpt, but with a new hat.
