InternetPirateHow can people prevent the Dead Internet Theory from becoming our reality?
I have to say that I feel that currently the most consumed contents in the Internet are mostly human-written; and my proof is actually that it is now when the tendency is clearly changing. I have stumbled upon a few AI-generated articles already in the past few months, without looking for them specifically. You could tell because it sometimes focuses on weird details, or even I have seen l some kind of
as an AI, I do not have an opinion on the subject […] which is so funny when you see it.
So, yeah, it is definitely starting to happen, and in the next few years I wouldn’t be surprised if 30 to 50 % of articles are just AI blorbs built for clicks.
How to avoid this? We can’t. The only way would be to shut down the Internet, forbid computers and go back to a simpler life. And that, for many reasons will not happen unless some world-class destruction event happens.
It was 47% last year.
That’s going by a different metric though. It’s not claiming 47% of news articles or social media posts are by bots. It’s talking about cyberattacks, not social media posts.
I don’t think there are any solid numbers on human-presenting bot activity on social media. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised though, especially in political forums.
