The Dead Internet Theory

- The internet is dead and we are the killers. Truth no longer exists online, bots have swamped social media with misinformation, and the web pages we surf today are almost entirely generated by AI. But how exactly did we get here? And is it too late to revive it?

"The internet is dead & we are the killers…"
Aperture Nietzsche, 2024.
Lmao
Ha
"we". huh. funny thing, no the one who manage it killed it if its dead. so operators not users or contributors lets not lump us up with the miscreants.
I was a web designer in the Late 90's. There was so much more creative freedom in interactivity, motion (Flash) sound effects, and colors. For example I made a fishing website where a fisherman on a boat on the top would the catch the fish you wanted to know more information about. The internet was really an adventure with so much to explore. Now, everything is cookie cutter, looks the same and is so drab. It's like we now live in a world where everyone lives in a gray house and drives a white Prius.
speak for yourself....
@@tylerredforge5563 I did
A Prius is one of the most reliable cars. And I totally agree about the gray homes lol. Add some color lol
@@tylerredforge5563he’s objectively right whether you like it or not. The internet HAD to change and be standardized due to increased need of security and standards which is kinda sad but the only logic step considering that idk how many billions more people use it now than in the 90‘s/early 2000s. Common sense, everything has changed and will change in this world
it’s a shame the new users won’t be able to experience what it felt like to explore an open and free web and come across a website passion project that sticks in your memory for life
The internet used to be a place you go to escape reality. Now you go outside to escape the internet
Literally.
The irony of the comments on this video...
So many bots just out in the open with very much inappropriate pfps and virus links in bio, yet I can't say "shut up" without my comment being flagged by TH-cam. I wish I was lying, this has happened more than once.
@@BrocksJellyFilledDoughnuts Do not forget about the de monbots too with 666s and creepy pfps.
@@conanhighwoods4304 pfps?
Bot comments on top and yt algorithm deleting real comments. Dystopia...
YT doesn't want anyone to actually speak their mind I guess. But that isn't really surprising.
What’s the point of a bot comment? I mean, why does a human concern themselves with making a bot to comment or to get “likes” ?
"And acknowledge humanity is more important than profit"
Too bad human history is rife with people in power choosing self benefit over people. I'm sure many people believe where we are headed is a problem, the issue is that the small fraction of people in charge and in control of the system have very little incentive to change or improve it and are usually encouraged to make it worse for every one else for their own benefit.
AI wasn't the cause but it definitely became the end
Well said
I always thought everything on the internet stayed forever but thats not the case , half the things you have seen and read are gone forever
That's eye-opening
Ok, that largely depends on that you see and read, and what you consider "gone forever". The most common things to fade are file links, especially through a shortening service like Bitly.
it is more like 99% are gone for ever
Digital Rot is real. Had some photos download on a hard floppy from the late 90s. Transfered to a flash drive and now look like pixels.
@@chada75 Yeah, there's so many factors at play here, I'll list a few:
1. Manufacturer of floppy
2. Storage conditions (temperature, humidity, nearby magnets, sunlight)
3. Outdated medium
4. Infrequent use
5. Lack of proper redundancy
6. Poorly supported file types
7. Poor floppy reader
8. State of flash drive & manufacturer
10 years from now, presuming we make it that far, we'll look back on people actually writing things on the internet as some weird thing that no one would ever do today ... even if they could.
I'm in a Facebook group where we share the dumb auto generated Facebook AI pages that share very dumb AI images with wild captions and hashtags. Kinda scary.
Can I ask if you're from South Asia
Those with posts that say "Why don't pictures like this ever trend"
@mannatgrewal7954 exactly the ones lol the FB group is called AI Boomerposting. Thing is going through comments on those posts it feels likes a good third maybe more of all responses and left by other bots.
@@mannatgrewal7954 and it's crab jesus made out of bananas by a poor African child.
sounds fun! what's the name of the facebook group? I would love to check it out
I think the most important change is how we use the internet. Instead of actively researching things we like and choosing what we consume, we now passively consume what algorithms feed us. Also one of the important thing is the monopolization of sites. Instead of vibrant forums, blogspots, and personal sites nowadays, everything is owned by few very big corporations.Most internet users don't use anything other than 3-5 sites. My last observation is the amount of sterilization of the internet. You can't be anonymous; there are lots of rules you need to obey; you can't say things you think...That's why most popular contents become homogeneous,standardized,souless slop. Basicly, what we lived was a taming of the wild west named the internet. I don't know what will happen to AI in the future due to data corruption. Anything done after 2022 is possibly Aİ generated, and feeding this data to Aİ models doesn't produce good results, so will Aİ become obsolate? Who knows. Other than that, the master-slave dynamic changed long ago when algorithmic feeds were created. After that tipping point, Aİ has way more power over humans than realized. They caught us by our most primitive desires and used it to make us addicted to them so they can continue to make money.Average global screen time is approaching 7 hours,they cause enormous damage to humanity's attention span with short content which they pushed and no one opposes them. To be honest, I don't see a bright future.
It's such a passive way of experiencing the web, too! At times, it feels like we're flipping through TV channels like our parents did. And because the internet is becoming filled with a lot more standardized, sanitized and AI crap, we're about to start complaining that in Petabytes' worth of information, there's nothing on, when in fact it's getting buried by thoughtless, souless junk.
"You can't be anonymous" that isn't true: Brave-browser, TOR, Qubes OS, degoogled phones like LineageOS, Proton mail, Mullvad VPN. It takes effort, and you have to value your privacy to do so, and you have to be ready to fight big tech daily.
Holy yap
"Brave browser." lol. Lmao, even.
Hilariously, his first sentence and entire premise is completely wrong, lmao.@Walthu_99.5
Don't mind me I am just looking up the transcript where the AI generated text shows up clearly.

Fire nation??🤔
I bet we're going to have bots again to comment on this video (they just proved the dead internet theory)
Don't read my comment
Blud is not the Ohio rizzler, blud sounds like an NPC on skibidi
^ and its just been proven by the reply above me (i do spread propaganda though worldwide)
Well I'm certainly a human lol
Just finished a 15 hour shift in a facortory Inc travel time but thought I'd comment see u know there are still real people online but the mainstream shit is all algorithm bullshite
Don’t read my channel banner
I think Emma is on to something 😂
The internet is just a world passing notes around a classroom
To hammer the point down, being able to differentiate between ai and human is a skill that has literally been turned into a game with the Human or not website. Also (side note) i do gotta say, a way to help prevent from doomscrolling on youtube is to turn off your search history as you cant get recommended videos besides what you're subbed to
Yeah I tried this. It worked ok at first but after a day or two the algorithm just used old search history to show me videos I'd watched 2,3, and 4 years ago. It took me a few videos to realize I'd seen all of these. Turning of search history doesn't really stop the algorithm from remembering what you've searched up until you turned it off. It never got better in fact just made it worse everything shown to me was either something I'd watched in the past or completely irrelevant or trash videos.
Idk what you’re using for youtube but it should say on the homepage and for shorts “youtube history disabled” and not have any videos at all there
@@Lord_Nikon33 would deleting your previous search history help?
Just get a browser extension where you can decide which part of the website you don't want to see. I completely disabled recommended videos and the home page (all that's left is my subscriptions and search). Sometimes I disable comments so I don't get dragged into a rabbit hole when I have stuff to do (I do enjoy reading and replying though).
You can curate your internet browsing experience if you care enough and understand yourself enough. I actually enjoy going on Facebook once every couple weeks because I curated it and disabled tons of sht on it. All I get is the pure feed of the few family and friends I kept there. We can look at all the bad, but we have so much power. And, yes, it takes time to learn. But it is the point. You grow and build the life for yourself to the best of your ability. Technology can't limit that. Only governments can - because they can use force, unlike technology.
Take care of your computer and internet as you would your child and you'll have a great time with them.
The end is nigh
The Internet is not dead. In the search for more power it became a little undead, sure, but it is still on a level of a mere death knight. It will take a while for it to become the lich king.
this video seems like smth that would be made some 15 years in the future 😭 looking at these comments, i feel like there’s a generational difference for me because of the different way i interact with the internet fs
The internet is not dead, its just some of the services on it are rotting.
I can prove I'm not a bot, ask me to solve a captcha.
click on all the squares with crosswalks
you cannot check the mark where it says: "I'm not a robot" --- ROFL, poor bots
Exactly what a bot would say
9:34 "Artifical Intelligence". Yep, that about sums it up.
I remember hearing everything you put on the internet stays on there forever , that’s a lie just due to the sheer amount of stuff we have lost , link rots , un-archived stuff and general things not being saved
I Was just thinking about how the web became the Internet yesterday..... Man i remember how close we were to revolution back then.
If Portal taught us anything, just don’t allow the AI to obtain deadly neurotoxins
The introduction of SORA made me think about this video's concept...the future is daunting😢
I don’t like coming to the realization that a certain percentage of comments or posts I angrily reply to might actually be bots
We are killing our selves.
Excellent Analysis, Deployed Worldwide Through My Deep Learning AI Research Library. Thank You.
Ur human lol
I wish people would stop calling chatgpt and others AI. Its not AI and never has been. It is an LLM large language model. It just uses massive threads of language to generate responses based on similar responses already given. The massive data sets used to train these models just increase its massive library of language threads. Its just seems intelligent but its not.
This question crossed my mind when I was watching the video:
How well would an old fashioned version of youtube succeed, one without the introduction of AI enhancments?
Would people support it? Would it offer a new creative safespace?
If someone has the power to do it, and they help add protection to content as to not be usable for AI training, it could be a good idea for a new platfrom, I mean it is something that's missing from the market. Please share your view, I'm really interested in hearing other opinions!
The og video series by AllTime about this subject are great too
결국은 인터넷 여론이나 언론사의 기사가 현실의 어떤 사실을 보여주기 어려워지고 사람들은 오프라인 여론을 믿게될거임.지금은 유튜브나 언론사의 편향된 정보제공으로 편향된 시각을 지니고 있지만 결국은 실명제로 가야하지 않나 싶음.
This is surprisingly informative
AI will take over everything eventually. Its all but inevitable at this point, with the incredible rate of progress, and incredibly slow pace of government to do anything about it. AI will get more and more intelligent until it can do your job and career. Eventually it will be able to do all white collar job work. Become a plumber or craftsman because the age of white collar jobs are coming to a close, and the end of society as we know it
0:24 a lot of that human-made content is really just a "content" to get views and show ads. What was the last time anyone saw a genuine video without ads and with in-depth analysis of certain topic rather than brief web-searchable descriptions? So yeah, the theory has many implications. At 10:40 me and the author converge. Good
Terrifying implications.
Everything took over when ai took over earth nation
this might be a good thing, once the internet becomes unbearable enough, maybe people will start logging off and checking back in to the real world.
This explains a lot! Recently I've subscribed to a channel because of the creator's beautiful voice. We never see her, only hear her voice. She has a faint British accent but anyone can tell that English is not her native language. It would be very easy to guess that maybe she's not an actual human at all. 😅
Internet won't be dead anytime soon, there's still cat videos
People cannot say or share what they want anymore. The internet became a place for AI content, videos of people dancing and pics of cats. Finding true good content is quite difficult. I get really pissed off when I need some urgent help in a customer service and what I get is an useless AI Chatbot instead of a human.
0:54 the old but gold days....my country was fierce and ready to defend our country, sadly our demise happened in 1991
But there is another cold war brewing and if it means having to stand by it, defend it or die trying, so be it
Real people stuff needs rigorous authentication, like a Bitcoin like watermark. Make it obvious what's CG.
Video should be easy with strictly regulated hardware, but text is less easy.
How do you do, fellow bots?
6:30 Absolutely not! The Turing test was designed to define intelligence (whatever it means), no "thinking" (whatever it means)
I missed the Golden ages of Internet 🛜😔
It's incredible how so many channels will make a video on the same topic. This has been talked about to death, be more creative.
thats funny because this is actually the first time i heard about this
Maybe the stuff you consume reolves around dead internet theories and shit
This is the first channel that's spoken about this with nuance, I imagine that others will copy him
I had a channel like this one and made a few videos i worked really hard on and i thought were interesting and extremely original. They got zero views because the algorithm hates originally. I have a different, very successful channel where i just do what i see working for more than one channel. Thats the future unfortunately. And i know i probably would have done better eventually but "doing better eventually" doesn't pay the bills due this month.

Great video as always 👍 👌 👏 its a sad scary world out there its why im indoors on here insted watching this lol 😆
Honestly if we all just get off the internet only for essential things we would be fine it’s truly up to you
"Something happened in 2016" - yessiree, the "Blue Wave". Well, it's a lil more complicated than that, but Upper Echelon did some seriously impressive modelling on bot networks a year or so back, and that one appears the densest in the Anglosphere.

I really dislike the way things are going on the Internet. And I also think X is doing the best job (even though it's not perfect) at trying to keep the platform "human" and to encourage users to interact with other users in a community-oriented, more human way.
run hamster run.
We have not given life to AI; we're just getting better at programming. You can't overlook the effect of legislation passed circa 2016 in the wake of the Craigslist Killer; since then every online entity has been forever altered, starting with TH-cam.
Remember the age of grammar n@zi's? At least now when someone misspells something or writes something grammatically incorrect we know their human lol
Does anyone else remember using search engines that produced as many pages of individual content on any subject as one could wish to research in the 90s and early 2000s and how today it's nearly impossible to find genuine websites or content outside of corporate stores or AI generated sites?
I think Millennials and to an extent Zoomers were the first generation to have mainstream internet as teenagers and so we're the first to really notice the vast changes to the internet as a whole which I now refer to as the 'grey goo' internet based off the grey goo theory for infinite self replicating nanobots consuming all matter.
It's easier for our generations to spot AI but with Moore's Law showing no signs of slowing down we will soon lose that ability as well. My mother (a Boomer who did not grow up with the internet) cannot tell the difference between AI and actual YT channels but many of us still can because of AI mispronunciation of language though I wonder how much longer we have before AI mimic's human creativity to the degree that even those who grew up with the internet can no longer tell what's real or fake.

It feels so crazy to think I’m part of the last generation to grow up before social media (born 2005) edit* Apparently people still aren’t understanding what I mean. Yes obviously we had the internet and social media growing up like the birth of TH-cam or facebook and MySpace BUT many people my age didn’t have a smartphone till maybe middle school. My childhood was spent outside at parks like older generations. No one “grew up” on the internet or social media as much as the generation AFTER me. You have kids today that’s 1-5 on TikTok, when I was that age I was outside🤷🏾♂️
2007 for me
If you were born in 2005 you were not raised in a world without social media lol what? Maybe someone born in 1995 could say that, but definitely not 2005.
Are yout tho? Im 2003 and most kids already had facebook at primary school.
@@kloroform1681 i was born in 2004 social media might have existed but most of us didnt get a smart phone till like age 11 or 12 so we still had a normal ish childhood
@regulardegular5 He said "the last generation to grow up before social media" 11 or 12 isn't "grown up," you are by all means still a child at that age. And the fact that you didn't have a smart phone doesn't mean social media wasn't around. The fact that you had a smart phone at that age says everything regardless. I got my first flip phone at 19. In 2004 lol. So my generation was truly the last to "grow up" without social media. Truly. All good tho. Just being realistic.

Almost entirely generated by AI? amazing how AI just made like 90% or whatever is "almost entirely" when it can barely jet make anything mor complex than a wordpress looking turd.
It always amuses me that artists are worried about their specific field of expertise, yet they're quite happy to use applications where AI has infringed on another field of expertise - coding. It gets worse if they also use real world materials for their art, because a lot of the distribution systems around the globe have been usurped by AI. Almost everything artists do, use, want, et al, is enabled by AI yet they are only concerned that they are no longer going to be able to turn a profit for drawing their little pictures. Art is amazing, don't get me wrong, it offers a lot to society but when we boil reality down to its base components then art doesn't feed us, it doesn't warm or cool us, it doesn't provide us power or water, all of which are areas under threat by AI. People need to see the bigger picture (pun intended) because when the proverbial dam breaks and the waters start flooding, if you focus only on your tiny little garden then your town as a whole will be lost along with your garden regardless.
