When people say, "The internet was a mistake," I say, "No, social media was a mistake." And giving smartphones to literal toddlers certainly didn't help.
They just wanted to control the bots. The majority of wokeness was driven by bots. Look how it fell away on twitter once bots were purged (until it got flooded by new ones)
Or the more realistic ending: many stip using the internet and go to the real world. Now, those who create are exclusive to certain regions, but at least it's real.
I just feel bad for teenagers growing up with this. They will always have a suspicion that their "new friend" they met on the internet is really a AI chat bot. I genuinely feel so grateful I grew up at the time I did. I was probably the last generation that grew up before smartphones were apart of everybody's life so I feel like I have a decent perspective on these things
I'm an artist, but I no longer want to post my art work. I don't want it stolen by AI. But jobs for artists - illustrators, graphic designers are all being taken over by AI too. It's so easy as an artist to see AI, but a lot of regular people can't. Even food chains are using AI images to advertise their drinks and food now. It doesn't even remotely look like the real thing. This is taking away from photographers. It's so dystopian and scary. We're losing out livelihoods and dreams.
Imagine paying a boatload of money to advertise on social media and the only views come from bots. I'd be reconsidering where my advertising budget is spent.
Crazy that companies can make money like that yet the minority of major citys have a homeless population and a constant loop of people losing and finding new jobs. This cant possibly be good for the general person in our modern society, they are just taking away jobs with ai
Trying to build a user base for your website is always a challenge, when you're a nobody and you're starting out. Meanwhile, Facebook with its over a billion users, decides they need AI users to drive even more engagement when their website is already stupid big...
They won't be selling ad space based on these bots and the traffic generated by them. They are trying to get low follower count people MORE engaged with the platform, so Meta (or other platforms) can serve MORE ads to that person, that are even more narrowly focused on that person's actual daily interest. Imagine having a conversation with bots over what is the best sandwich place for lunch, where not only the sandwich shops will pay more to have an ad delivered to that person based on how the AI knows your behavior and what you're more likely to buy, but also those advertisers could pay to have the bots "push" ideas subtly to the user on what to buy, but where to buy a sandwich for lunch. Now, take all that, and add a time element, where the AI knows you may need a car soon, or may soon be looking for a new apartment or home, or other large purchase, and now you as an advertiser can pre-purchase ad space and bots to subtly work on implantation of brand recognition and desire for certain offerings the advertisers sell, along with ramping up 'talk" of certain companies and offerings they have, which culminated in a special offering just to that user over a period of time......
I have been saying this for a while, but notice how NO ONE talks about how most of the internet is funded by advertisement clicks. And that those clicks are being replaced by dead clicks.
@@nate_d376 They are 100% going to be lying about those numbers, the same way they currently are, but to a larger extent. When you flood a platform with more and more bots, you lose transparency about what the numbers are, for any outside onlookers. Not to mention that it isn't just Google, Facebook and Co. flooding their platforms with bots, but third parties as well. And that's only going to get worse as AI improves and becomes less easily distinguishable from humans. Advertisers would be absolutely stupid, not to assume all of these companies are lying about their user and engagement numbers.

As a creator on youtube there's a new feature for automatic creator replies. It's extremely frustrating. One of my viewers have expressed a dubious reply to a real reply by me saying "I hope that's not an AI reply" - the existence of the feature breaks down the trust between the creator and the viewer.
What's the difference its weak intelligence either way. An Ai trying to deceive or a Creator deceived makes hardly a difference. "As a as a" again this user I'm replying to is an Ai. And I am disappointed in its disgusting use of dead languages.
German here. I didnt even know about that dubbing. Sounds horrific. TH-cam also just translates video titles for some reason. I´ve never asked them to do that.
it translates everything into german for me despite i set it all specifically to english and i have to set it back to english every time, i may be german and live there but if i say i want it in english, i want it in english, it is really annoying.
A long time ago I actually sent them a rant about that xD . I think it ceased when I set every language setting I could think of to English and got into how to minimize the technical info that sites, and google specifically, get from the browser to profile things like location. I always wonder how English speaking students in Germany or similar scenarios work out, because they seem to be effed up. Setting the location to Germany and the language to English turns out be too simple to be true.
Same for Norwegian. The tiles are written specifically to be understood in English. It is clearly visible when machine translated. Thankfully they don't do that for ALL videos, but it always sticks out when they do that.
I hate tje autotranslated titels so much. I know english, I want to see them in english. The translation sucks most if the time and I can't even view the original titel. Nor can I tell it to not translate them.
Or a control freaks dream; "Comply or all that validation will be reversed. Every second of every day you'll be told how awful of a human being you are."
That's legit missing the point.... I mean you can answer your own question it's very simple. Social media is the #1 app for narcissists to shine... So social media AI is most likely for the narcissists that are so disgusting and unlikeable that they can't get any likes on Instagram... But again this is missing the point of why this is a dystopian nightmare...
Bots should be illegal on social sites. If not illegal, then clearly labeled. The whole point of a social site is literally designed to engage with other people, not bots.
It is designed to mold your children into complaint corporate loving sycophants. Think about any anti-establishment movements online they can sabotage by flooding with bots. The movements will largely have to build offline.
We are getting closer to a Ghost in the Shell/Cyberpunk 2077 future than we realise and it's lacking all the cool parts of that future. No Tachikomas, no Mantis blades. No nothing. Just a sea of AI generated crap.

I’ve seen videos of fake sea creatures on facebook and some actual people thought it was real. The slop that gets generated is annoying. There are so many other things you can use these tools for. Creativity is slowly dying.
I've seen 3 main templates for generated videos on Facebook: giants building the pyramids, giants in wrestling rings, and shapeshifters(?) on talent shows (like AGT). All of it is ridiculous in concept, and also has a lot of issues with continuity of body parts and collision. Just super obvious stuff. Most comments are calling it out, which is funny because I think that's ultimately what the goal of this content is - to simply farm engagement. But, there are often a handful of comments asking if it's real. It may sound a bit ridiculous, but I think we can't overstate how much the Internet as we know it is in peril. Some people already fall for this shit, and we all know it will only get more convincing with time. In just a few short years, generated videos could be practically indistinguishable.
There's A LOT of these AI posts getting so many positive replies, I'm not even sure how many of them are bots and how many are real people falling for these...
I could see this argument being used in the future - and it's actually making me wonder if Meta announcing their intentions publicly is an attempt to prevent people claiming that they were misled. Because yes, inflating your active user numbers is absolutely about trying to make the site seem to be worth more than it is, to investors and advertisers.
I seriously hope they reconsider this. Gaslighting on a scale that this enables will create armies of people detached from reality who can be easily convinced to participate in actions like what took place in New Orleans.
I used to think Terminator was wildly unrealistic and that there would never be AI that takes over the human race, and if there was, it wouldn't be in my lifetime... Now I'm not so sure.

I actually searched a video about cats on motorcycles months ago and the thumbnail of one of these AI generated videos had actual gore of realistic anthropomorphized cats. These videos weren't in the TH-cam kids algorithm but literally a month later as I sat at a McDonald's one of these videos came on and the kid started wailing and crying. He was an iPad kid just sitting there with his family and the parents got super concerned as to how that was shown to their child. I'm convinced the internet might never be fully controlled and that people as a response may unplug in droves referring to the internet for only work and learning. All of big tech are losing monthly users by drastic numbers in the double digits. Convenient they're rolling this out now...
That's how the internet originally was in the early days, designed for work, learning, research and the occasional message or call to family, friends, and colleagues, if people unplug from the internet in droves I'm happy with that because of the amount of crap the average person puts onto it, and now AI is an issue too. As the Warden of the Internet from the viral video episode of regular show stated "The internet should be a place for learning and research, and keeping in touch with friends and family", I don't particularly like regular show very much but that was one of my favourite scenes in the show. Heck this very comment I'm posting is crap that probably shouldn't be on the internet haha.
@@Sydney-McKee Agreed. It's truly a tragedy just how things have gone for the internet. I miss when there were a billion forums for random and obscure topics. Now Facebook and other places have become a black hole. All the fun of the old internet and allure is just gone. Sure it's still better than TV but it's gotten especially worse since AI slop came out. We're getting bombarded with ads and constant political slop.
@@MisterN1 I've become so sick of it in recent years to the point where I decided to delete most of my social medias except for youtube, discord and whatsapp, and my youtube recommendations and shorts are completely turned off, if I want to watch something I have to use my brain and use the search engine, but even the search engine has become a tragedy as well, I didn't even get a notification for your comment, I had to go through my comment history to see if I got a response from you, which I don't comment on youtube particularly often. I wanted to watch some morrowind videos and the search results were mostly about youtubers complaining about how "difficult" the early 2000s game is, because there's no guide or quest markers for morrowind and you have to actually read when playing the game compared to newer games which hold your hand.

Yep, we are gonna have to think about STRICT laws on A.I generated crap these days. I feel like some sites need to ban most of this kind of crap since you know, it's gonna get annoying when you search up an image to the point you don't know if it's either made by an human or an A.I.
Laws have just about nothing to do with morality. And what do you think would happen if they had, anyway? Look around you, sufficiently rich and powerful people can break all the laws they want and the worst they get is a slap on the wrist.

Most people don't have an eye for "details" like that...I know, it's insane. Comparing how my brain compiles an image to how it seems to work with others, hints at my ADHD being actually beneficial in spotting AI artifacts like the mutated flag. I also consider the whole setting as such a "detail".
I used to be on the board of my university's programming org. We invested a pretty substantial sum of our finances to advertising online - especially Facebook, but we kind of slowed down when we noticed that there wasn't much value in it, even when we tried all we could to target them to relevant groups. If advertisers aren't happy with the return on their ad bucks, it'll pressure the platforms to increase real user engagement by whatever means necessary.
It's a shame really, AI had great potential and just like everything else in this century it's been commercialized, I fear for the people who will be alive in the 22nd century and am hoping we sort all of these issues out before the next century, I'm going to be 97 when the clock strikes 2101, if I live to that age.

Maybe that’s for the better, though. Humans need real life relationships, internet relationships, even with real people, are not real, and will not help you.
Bots in areas like this shouldn't be allowed period. This is a huge oversight and overstepping on the company's part. Flooding the internet with more bots just what we need I already deal with enough of them on Twitter every single day it's enough to make my hair turn gray and make me want to tear it out.
AI needs to be regulated into the ground. And the regulations need to never, ever be lifted. Any company that violates those regulations, are seized, the developers barred from ever working in tech. Sound Orwellian? Sadly, in order to protect people from asshole corporations, we may need to do this sooner rather than later.

oh no the internet is huge, you just don't see any of it cause its "not on facebook" people forgot the internet is more then facebook/youtube/other anti-social media slop cause it requires actually searching for it and it is not easy these days since the search engines promote SEO slop spam and ai slop over anything actually created.

see...that is the part that rubs me the wrong way about "dead internet theory" from it's inception the internet always had shaky credibility, especially social interations, the internet has always been full of trolls, irony, metairony, layers of poes law...platforms have always encouraged perfomative, fake, misleading, deceptive and manipulative efforts to control your perceptions. And now people think it is an issue bc AI can be used as a tool to do these things more efficiently?!? F*ck outta here with your dead internet bs the internet was always dead if the metric you are using is "I can't be sure what is sincere and what is just slop"
The real comentary "dead internet theory" exposes is that humans are worried their attention seeking online might be outclassed by automated generative AI and they will have to compete for the center of attention against machine like efficiency as they try to gasslight audiences that their brand of "look at me...look what I can do" is better than other brands of the same slop
That's been caused by excessive advertisement creeping in. Ironically, AI assistants help with that now. AI assisted search helps skipping the wall of ads.

6:05 I had never really thought about until just now, but this point here made me realize how ridiculous the concept of a social media platform is when it is ruled by an algorithm that decides who gets to be social and who doesn’t. Instead of connecting people together into small pods and truly cultivating a social experience, it funnels people toward bigger influencers and so most of us experience social media as an antisocial experience instead, simply watching the big fish get bigger and otherwise having no real benefit gained from using the platform, so most of us resort to memes and discover/explore/for-you pages. This is all so ridiculous and I can’t wait for the collapse. In the meantime, I continue to stay off all platforms and learn how to read again lol.
I'm so tired of the "feel heard" crowd. They make the internet worse because everyone feels the need to walk on eggshells around them. Be heard, don't wait for some rando to say what you wanna hear.
Precisely. If I wanted to interact with robots, I would play video games. Social media moderators pushing AI into human conversations crosses such a hard line. This feels like in the movie Constantine when demons try to break through the mirror into the human world, and this feels like AI trying to break free from social media. If these autonomous users can influence societal change, they can be weaponized. They will be.

i so sick of AI stories and videos being sugested to me. hoping some one comes up with a good alternative to youtube. yea if AI on social media gets bad enough of social media then social media will have lost its point and ill stop using it, pretty sure most people will be the same. this is how companies die, by being stubborn and not adapting.
This is why I'm building my own website RN. No longer will i be relying on social media especially if it means to keep my works relevant. We will be returning to blogs even if social media does die

It’s easier for a blog to be ai generated than a social media site post, because there is no one with an incentive to remove or police ai generated blogs
In my opinion, the internet nearly died in 2024 and WILL die in 2025. My parameter to decide this is the dead internet theory is about how much bot and human traffic there is online. It’s been steadily increasing for a long time, up to last year, 2024, when bot traffic hit 49.6% of the internet. Only 50.4% of the internet is human. When that goest up by 0.5% more, which it absolutely will, almost certainly this year, the internet will have died

It's baffling to me how people like Zuck and other AI bros can't envision the kind of future they're creating (this is rhetorical, I know why, it's just frustrating, no need to explain lol). What point is there in us living if we're just meant to sit around and consume content an AI makes for us? The point of life is supposed to be about finding your own passions, creating things yourself and interacting with fellow humans to grow and appreciate eachother. But people like Zuck seem to want us to have as little reliance on eachother as possible. Just scroll and consume for big daddy corpo. Please everyone, we have to stigmatize AI. Don't share AI memes, don't support games, videos, etc that are made using AI... WE CAN shape our future if we come together on this and stigmatize its usage enough.
The point of life for those at the top is to make as much money as possible, consequences and other people be damned. Once you understand that, everything they do makes sense.

In some smaller circles, people are starting to boycott brands using AI art on their products and advertisements.
I can see how they would use it. It makes it looks like your channel, account, etc, looks like there is a lot of activity, jacking up post count and making it look like your product is highly engaging and people pay a lot of attention to it

i don't get it why would anyone want to follow an AI "user" what is the point? why would you want a million followers that don't actually exist? how does that give you dopamine?
The same way you get dopamine by playing any single player game, I'd say. Reducing it to neurotransmitters is actually the answer to your question, sad as it might be.
I CANT WAIT for people with terrible opinions on things that don't deserve to see the light of day start getting affirmation from bots about their worldviews. no possible way this can go badly.
Its refreshing to see more and more people starting to realize the coming disruption from AI as it is related to their personal areas of interest. Its going to have this level of affect across nearly all aspects of life. Prepare yourselves.

We just need to revolt by cutting down the very source of income that they need to survive as a company. Despite being a multibillion dollar company, letting them use their AI's flood their own sites instead of people for an entire year or more will make them regret their decisions financially as it will not only be considered poorly received but will end up as their own downfall due to their own loss of their major revenue. It's not social media anymore if there are no people to socialize.

A year wouldn't be a problem, as that's enough time to reacclimate to not using the site, by 6 months most wouldn't even think of it in scenarios where they used to. Not using something for a shorter timespan is more difficult imo.
last year we already talked a lot about how the internet is dying and more people are looking to unplug from the internet. i myself removed a lot of social media accounts so far, removed a lot of follows and just general downsizing. i think its something more people should do, I don't know how it works with cyber security, but I believe having a cleaner digital footprint feels more comfortable using the internet and keeping things to what I like and the people I know and like. less bullshit yk

Trying to build a user base for your website is always a challenge, when you're a nobody and you're starting out. Meanwhile, Facebook with its over a billion users, decides they need AI users to drive even more engagement when their website is already stupid big...
They won't be selling ad space based on these bots and the traffic generated by them. They are trying to get low follower count people MORE engaged with the platform, so Meta (or other platforms) can serve MORE ads to that person, that are even more narrowly focused on that person's actual daily interest.
Imagine having a conversation with bots over what is the best sandwich place for lunch, where not only the sandwich shops will pay more to have an ad delivered to that person based on how the AI knows your behavior and what you're more likely to buy, but also those advertisers could pay to have the bots "push" ideas subtly to the user on what to buy, but where to buy a sandwich for lunch.
Now, take all that, and add a time element, where the AI knows you may need a car soon, or may soon be looking for a new apartment or home, or other large purchase, and now you as an advertiser can pre-purchase ad space and bots to subtly work on implantation of brand recognition and desire for certain offerings the advertisers sell, along with ramping up 'talk" of certain companies and offerings they have, which culminated in a special offering just to that user over a period of time......
I have been saying this for a while, but notice how NO ONE talks about how most of the internet is funded by advertisement clicks. And that those clicks are being replaced by dead clicks.
@@nate_d376 They are 100% going to be lying about those numbers, the same way they currently are, but to a larger extent.
When you flood a platform with more and more bots, you lose transparency about what the numbers are, for any outside onlookers.
Not to mention that it isn't just Google, Facebook and Co. flooding their platforms with bots, but third parties as well. And that's only going to get worse as AI improves and becomes less easily distinguishable from humans.
Advertisers would be absolutely stupid, not to assume all of these companies are lying about their user and engagement numbers.
Crazy how you’d get banned and made fun of for buying fake followers and then the fucking platform starts putting fake users like what is happening

As a creator on youtube there's a new feature for automatic creator replies. It's extremely frustrating. One of my viewers have expressed a dubious reply to a real reply by me saying "I hope that's not an AI reply" - the existence of the feature breaks down the trust between the creator and the viewer.
What's the difference its weak intelligence either way. An Ai trying to deceive or a Creator deceived makes hardly a difference.
"As a as a" again this user I'm replying to is an Ai. And I am disappointed in its disgusting use of dead languages.

German here. I didnt even know about that dubbing. Sounds horrific. TH-cam also just translates video titles for some reason. I´ve never asked them to do that.
it translates everything into german for me despite i set it all specifically to english and i have to set it back to english every time, i may be german and live there but if i say i want it in english, i want it in english, it is really annoying.
A long time ago I actually sent them a rant about that xD . I think it ceased when I set every language setting I could think of to English and got into how to minimize the technical info that sites, and google specifically, get from the browser to profile things like location. I always wonder how English speaking students in Germany or similar scenarios work out, because they seem to be effed up. Setting the location to Germany and the language to English turns out be too simple to be true.
Yeah I kinda dislike it
Same for Norwegian. The tiles are written specifically to be understood in English. It is clearly visible when machine translated.
Thankfully they don't do that for ALL videos, but it always sticks out when they do that.
I hate tje autotranslated titels so much. I know english, I want to see them in english. The translation sucks most if the time and I can't even view the original titel. Nor can I tell it to not translate them.
So are the AI bots going to get banned for botting?
Nah. They’re actually gonna ban all the humans for botting then fill up TH-cam with so much of its own slop that it completely destroys the platform.
No most of those bots are primitive.
Oh my God social AI is literally a narcissists dream. What the fuck is this? You create and live in your own social media world? WHYYYYYYY?

I’ve seen videos of fake sea creatures on facebook and some actual people thought it was real. The slop that gets generated is annoying. There are so many other things you can use these tools for. Creativity is slowly dying.
I've seen 3 main templates for generated videos on Facebook: giants building the pyramids, giants in wrestling rings, and shapeshifters(?) on talent shows (like AGT). All of it is ridiculous in concept, and also has a lot of issues with continuity of body parts and collision. Just super obvious stuff.
Most comments are calling it out, which is funny because I think that's ultimately what the goal of this content is - to simply farm engagement. But, there are often a handful of comments asking if it's real.
It may sound a bit ridiculous, but I think we can't overstate how much the Internet as we know it is in peril. Some people already fall for this shit, and we all know it will only get more convincing with time. In just a few short years, generated videos could be practically indistinguishable.
There's A LOT of these AI posts getting so many positive replies, I'm not even sure how many of them are bots and how many are real people falling for these...

I actually searched a video about cats on motorcycles months ago and the thumbnail of one of these AI generated videos had actual gore of realistic anthropomorphized cats. These videos weren't in the TH-cam kids algorithm but literally a month later as I sat at a McDonald's one of these videos came on and the kid started wailing and crying. He was an iPad kid just sitting there with his family and the parents got super concerned as to how that was shown to their child. I'm convinced the internet might never be fully controlled and that people as a response may unplug in droves referring to the internet for only work and learning. All of big tech are losing monthly users by drastic numbers in the double digits. Convenient they're rolling this out now...
That's how the internet originally was in the early days, designed for work, learning, research and the occasional message or call to family, friends, and colleagues, if people unplug from the internet in droves I'm happy with that because of the amount of crap the average person puts onto it, and now AI is an issue too.

Most people don't have an eye for "details" like that...I know, it's insane. Comparing how my brain compiles an image to how it seems to work with others, hints at my ADHD being actually beneficial in spotting AI artifacts like the mutated flag. I also consider the whole setting as such a "detail".
I used to be on the board of my university's programming org. We invested a pretty substantial sum of our finances to advertising online - especially Facebook, but we kind of slowed down when we noticed that there wasn't much value in it, even when we tried all we could to target them to relevant groups. If advertisers aren't happy with the return on their ad bucks, it'll pressure the platforms to increase real user engagement by whatever means necessary.
Imagine when they realize that no advertiser is going to pay for fake impressions...

I miss the other search engines as well. They were good competitors for google, and every normy ruined it.
@@williamw2529 DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Ecosia and more exist.
@@williamw2529the fact that there’s no more bing memes bc it practically doesn’t exist anymore is crazy
@@williamw2529 lmfao how?
That's been caused by excessive advertisement creeping in. Ironically, AI assistants help with that now. AI assisted search helps skipping the wall of ads.
I’m so tired of ai slop. Can we just reverse it? It boggles my mind how many people fall for ai videos and pictures. It’s insane.
Some day you will miss all those people with seven fingers. 😆
Reverse it? AI has been the biggest infrastructure investment in the entire known history of human kind. There's no going back.
@@curtismcneill9265 someone should seal off the image generating part about AI,otherwise in the future theyll be so realistic you wont know what is true and what isnt.

6:05 I had never really thought about until just now, but this point here made me realize how ridiculous the concept of a social media platform is when it is ruled by an algorithm that decides who gets to be social and who doesn’t. Instead of connecting people together into small pods and truly cultivating a social experience, it funnels people toward bigger influencers and so most of us experience social media as an antisocial experience instead, simply watching the big fish get bigger and otherwise having no real benefit gained from using the platform, so most of us resort to memes and discover/explore/for-you pages. This is all so ridiculous and I can’t wait for the collapse. In the meantime, I continue to stay off all platforms and learn how to read again lol.
This Mutahar content is Stunning! Each transformation feels so magical, and impactful!
I don’t wanna “feel heard.” I want to “BE HEARD.”
I'm so tired of the "feel heard" crowd. They make the internet worse because everyone feels the need to walk on eggshells around them. Be heard, don't wait for some rando to say what you wanna hear.
Precisely. If I wanted to interact with robots, I would play video games. Social media moderators pushing AI into human conversations crosses such a hard line. This feels like in the movie Constantine when demons try to break through the mirror into the human world, and this feels like AI trying to break free from social media. If these autonomous users can influence societal change, they can be weaponized. They will be.
Where are you from? I'm from South East Asia. Where? I won't say cuz I love to stand on my ground and sometime go against majority because it felt wrong sometime. Don't want anyone to cook me.
i so sick of AI stories and videos being sugested to me.
hoping some one comes up with a good alternative to youtube.
yea if AI on social media gets bad enough of social media then social media will have lost its point and ill stop using it, pretty sure most people will be the same. this is how companies die, by being stubborn and not adapting.
This is why I'm building my own website RN. No longer will i be relying on social media especially if it means to keep my works relevant. We will be returning to blogs even if social media does die
good luck getting found. might get to page 25 on google search cause of all the SEO slop spam and ai slop search engines would rather promote then actual real created content. Oh and enjoy all the endless bot attacks on the site/server.
I still have an active blog url outside of my website. It's a million times easier for people to view my work, and the images don't get destroyed by size limits and jpeg artifact... you know, like on Facebook, Instagram, Xwitter, etc..
And how will people find your blog?
It’s easier for a blog to be ai generated than a social media site post, because there is no one with an incentive to remove or police ai generated blogs
Yes! Let's bring back the small web! What's your site?
In my opinion, the internet nearly died in 2024 and WILL die in 2025. My parameter to decide this is the dead internet theory is about how much bot and human traffic there is online. It’s been steadily increasing for a long time, up to last year, 2024, when bot traffic hit 49.6% of the internet. Only 50.4% of the internet is human. When that goest up by 0.5% more, which it absolutely will, almost certainly this year, the internet will have died

It's baffling to me how people like Zuck and other AI bros can't envision the kind of future they're creating (this is rhetorical, I know why, it's just frustrating, no need to explain lol). What point is there in us living if we're just meant to sit around and consume content an AI makes for us? The point of life is supposed to be about finding your own passions, creating things yourself and interacting with fellow humans to grow and appreciate eachother.
But people like Zuck seem to want us to have as little reliance on eachother as possible. Just scroll and consume for big daddy corpo.
Please everyone, we have to stigmatize AI. Don't share AI memes, don't support games, videos, etc that are made using AI... WE CAN shape our future if we come together on this and stigmatize its usage enough.
there's a reason why people say zuck doesn't act like a human being
The point of life for those at the top is to make as much money as possible, consequences and other people be damned. Once you understand that, everything they do makes sense.
"In a blog entry, Zuck noted, “The Kirkland Facebook is open on my computer desktop, and some of these people have pretty horrendous Facebook pictures. I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive.”"
Zuck and all them CEOs don’t care about you, people need to get this in their head - the whole ideology of social media is to get people to hate - once they hate they engage, down bad.
@@Kleyguerth but like... whats the point in making money when you already have infinite money? i dont get it, why continue to acquire more of something you quite literally will never run out of?
TH-cam shorts are almost all AI.
Maybe this comment is AI.
WHAT IF I'M AI?! 🤖
@Jesse_E5150 I think therefore AI AM
Am I, robot?
Nah it’s Fortnite mainly on my shorts you just probs watch a lot of ai so they putting it in your feed Cause you looked at it so much or a few times
My TH-cam shorts almost NO ( *edit made I mistyped* )AI, it’s algorithm based so you must just interact with a lot of ai stuff
If the engagement is not real, I don't care. There should be a massive boycott of websites and brands that use AI. Maybe money will talk and they will slow their sh*t with this AI stuff. In some smaller circles, people are starting to boycott brands using AI art on their products and advertisements.
well a few smaller sites still exist that have been around for a while like good ol newgrounds
I can see how they would use it. It makes it looks like your channel, account, etc, looks like there is a lot of activity, jacking up post count and making it look like your product is highly engaging and people pay a lot of attention to it
It’s so frustrating how stupid the people who run big companies and our country are. Why are they so unbelievably stupid and greedy. Just be normal and caring it’s not hard.
The AI slop is gonna brainrot every single internet user
I just don't understand why would Ad companies eve trust the numbers of social medias if they gonna filled their platforms with AI users
As the social media manager for my company, this worries me. Do I have to add a note on my resume that I built up the number of followers before the AI onslaught that made all follower counts online meaningless?
many clicks are already highly suspicious. And now? who tf is going to use ppc on facebook. It won't be long until all sponsors pull out of YT, too. Freakin millions of views are already bots.
GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.......................D
They're gonna hawk honey all on that thaang
Currently the platforms are already filled with Ai users to solicit bots for banning. But they intend to take it further and ban actual users.
i don't get it why would anyone want to follow an AI "user" what is the point? why would you want a million followers that don't actually exist? how does that give you dopamine?
they get dopamine becuase funni number go big haha and bragging right for the funni big number
The point is that society has been dumbed down to the point "AI Users" are more interesting than real people.
The same reason you get a dopamine hit from socialisation by proxy in video games, I guess, except this gamifies real life parasocialisation.
The same way you get dopamine by playing any single player game, I'd say. Reducing it to neurotransmitters is actually the answer to your question, sad as it might be.
I CANT WAIT for people with terrible opinions on things that don't deserve to see the light of day start getting affirmation from bots about their worldviews. no possible way this can go badly.
I can see it already:
"Yes, thyplosion was innocent!"
"The earth IS flat indeed!"
"* insert something real bad here * is the correct way to do!"
People with no talent are already using AI to call themselves “artists” so it’s just a matter of time unfortunately
Its refreshing to see more and more people starting to realize the coming disruption from AI as it is related to their personal areas of interest.
Its going to have this level of affect across nearly all aspects of life. Prepare yourselves.
isn't it weird that boomers started off teaching us to be cynical of the internet and now they legit believe everything they see on facebook.
I remember joking about Dead Internet Theory a couple of years ago. Recently the realization set in that it may have never been alive to begin with.
I remember when I was going on the internet with my cheap modem back in the day...
Going to webpage were a roller coaster because they were all hand made and no one knew what they were doing.
Ugly repetitive backgrounds that were not set up correctly, midi music blasting your ears and slowing down everything,
horrible color choice, menu that only work half of the time etc. Oh and the classic visitor counter...
The good old day.
@@bobbobber4810 Marquees everywhere... blink elements... frames! Oh those were the days

Yeah I think the internet died before I even got on 😂

Struck me more like a Chieftain but you've a good eye
The thing I hate about the youtube AI translation voice over thing is that, because I live in Japan, they automatically play the japanese sound track for me, and I have to turn it off every single time I watch a clip from a specific channel. At the end I just gave up and not watch videos from that channel.
As an american, good god that sounds annoying as fuck.
6:35 "It's that dopamine people chase" That's such a clinical and detached way of framing it... We're just f-cking lonely. We're "chasing" filling the damn void of human connection
There is no connection that cannot be exploited under capitalism. Alienation is the only guaranteed result.
Ai isn’t a substitute for human connection
Can none of these idiots take a step back and see how stupid this is
I don't think it's about whether or not it's a sensible decision. It's about getting investor money with the whole ai hype
At some point the ai companies will stop getting money from investors and advertising services will notice it generates loss. As long as someone is making money this will go on
BUT MUH MONEH
- these companies
They’re trapped in their silicon valley ideologies which are killing them
Nope. They can only see one step ahead, and that's only if that one step involves money.

@@marcogenovesi8570 It's not cringe, changing our vocab on the fly to avoid AI censorbots will soon become a necessity (though it'll need to be subtler than that).

hearing that german voice at 15:18 trying to keep up with your talk, very funny 🤣
The block button go hard on my TH-cam feed for the shit AI content i see.
Pretty soon Google may ban your account for refusing to accept AI in the future.
and, I see it has begun to override my blocks. Within days, crap is once again being recommended.
@@ArstaynOfLothric i mean, i got banned from twitter for the crime of " making an account, checking 1 (one) corpo tweet ( which i was able to without an accout till recently) and not logging in for a week after that".
Yeah, now it's much more rare for me. Blocked a bunch of users I used to watch but no. You use ai I block (unless it's commentary on ai, then I'll give a pass)
@@ArstaynOfLothric refusing to accept? i highly doubt it lmao. they'll just make it harder to escape it. they don't ban you for not engaging with family channels and those are the most lucrative
Uploaders should be required to flag videos made using AI and users should be able to opt out of seeing it. I'm already sick of blocking channels or flagging not interested on slop in my feeds. These days I find myself just putting on music for background noise rather then YT videos.
There is an option for saying yes or no to if it is A.I. when you upload, but it is kind of hidden. I am not even sure if I MUST klick yes or no on it. I just discovered it one day when uploading and klicked no. I agree with you, it would be nice to have an option to block all A.I.
@jasminnavi If YT don't force the option with penalties like account banning or repayment of money made if falsely claiming it's not AI then the current option is pretty useless.
@@Bodom1978 I 100% agree. I hope they make strict rules for it, because it is causing a lot more problems than it is solving.
Same. Even then, for more than just game music, I end up going through my catalog of MP3s, which I still use.
That's the purpose, to mess up this form of communication, cause the internet has been a pain for people with interests looking top down.

Finally someone talking about the german Ai voice thing. It spooked me out so much when it automatically popped up.

the bots that make it so you can argue 24/7 is way too funny
Muta, you also mention that the NSFW content is so damn crowded with AI generated trash. People's balls are going to turn blue with how much sifting they have to do now just to find the legitimate content.
Can confirm, hunting for groceries on r34 is now quite a task if you actively don't want to engage with AI-made media, and also, a TON of them look so samey, like- boring bruh.
Also yeah, I'm aware this is just coomer-brained, just adding to the convo
@@peridrawland5955I almost never comment on TH-cam but next time you go there try typing the "-" character before a tag you want to avoid. So something like ai-generated you'd just do "-ai-generated" or "-ai-created" etc and it filters it mostly out

The whole point of social media is to talk to other people, hence why it’s called SOCIAL media. What’s the point of it if you’re just gonna be talking to chat bots
I would imagine this is going to be used to push products by AI. Everyone is using adblocks or ignoring the giant ads or the ad posts on twitter but you can give Meta some cash so that their bots will shill your product to random people. This is going to get really funny when two competitors both hire meta to shill with their AI bots and you get AI console war posting.
19:15 That cat ai video, I don’t think it’s ai viewers, I’m pretty confident it’s young kids. That’s why the comments are so low and the views are so high. My step son watches those videos daily. 😔

@ Is there a mute switch? Har har

We just need to revolt by cutting down the very source of income that they need to survive as a company.
Despite being a multibillion dollar company, letting them use their AI's flood their own sites instead of people for an entire year or more will make them regret their decisions financially as it will not only be considered poorly received but will end up as their own downfall due to their own loss of their major revenue.

A year wouldn't be a problem, as that's enough time to reacclimate to not using the site, by 6 months most wouldn't even think of it in scenarios where they used to.
Not using something for a shorter timespan is more difficult imo.

@3:08 this can't be real it's too tidy for England
Adverts and monetization on social media was the issue. Ten years ago, Instagram for instance, was just a website you uploaded pictures to.
last year we already talked a lot about how the internet is dying and more people are looking to unplug from the internet. i myself removed a lot of social media accounts so far, removed a lot of follows and just general downsizing. i think its something more people should do, I don't know how it works with cyber security, but I believe having a cleaner digital footprint feels more comfortable using the internet and keeping things to what I like and the people I know and like. less bullshit yk
Old people won’t realise and will be fooled and happy someone is talking to them.
