Love the #deadinternettheory, but it's not a #conspiracytheory, only as much as any idea can be spun into one.
While the idea heavily relies on #bots creating content, I'd argue that it's not important who creates, but the purpose of creation.
In the #tech world, most #communication #content is motivated by #profitmaximisation only.
The #web was already dying thanks to #SEO and #ecommerce. Adding #AI to the mix is only an accelerant, but not the claimed #gamechanger.
If Central Maine Power actually spent money maintaining the network and trimming trees, maybe it wouldn't be colder in my living room than the inside of your fridge.

@zensaiyuki That is, the dynamic is principally about #power rather than strictly #econmics or #profitMaximisation. And whilst at least in theory, an economic pie can be growing and _not_ zero-sum, that is, it's based on #cardinality, power is based on rank and *is* zero-sum, it's based on #ordinality: where you fall within a pecking order.
No matter how big the set, there's only one number-one spot.
(This is a flaw of all rank / popularity-based systems.)
