AI-Ruled Web: The Truth Behind the 'Dead Internet Theory' The "dead internet theory" suggests that AI-generated content dominates the internet, creating a cycle of artificial engagement with no human involvement. While some AI-driven content seems harmless, such as viral "shrimp Jesus" images, the real danger lies in AI bots spreading disinformation. Studies show bots significantly contribute to online misinformation, with social media platforms being manipulated to sway public opinion. This theory serves as a reminder to be skeptical and critically navigate online interactions, as many trends and sentiments could be artificially generated. AI Floods the Internet with Low-Quality Content The rise of AI-generated content, or "slop," is cluttering the internet with low-quality material designed to mimic human-made content. This content is often created for ad revenue and search engine optimization but fails to provide real value. The prevalence of slop is causing frustration for users and concerns for advertisers. AI Avatars of Deceased Loved Ones for $50K A Korean firm, DeepBrain AI, offers "Re;memory," a service that creates interactive AI chatbots of deceased relatives using video and audio to capture their likeness. For $50,000, clients can communicate with these digital avatars. While some find this comforting, others criticize it as exploitative and unsettling. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aidaily/message
