The internet is dead conspiracy

Apparently the internet died about five years ago and we're all just advanced AI.

That was already posted in Insider News.

or was it? maybe there is a tear in the space time continuum, causing you to think this, but in reality it never really happened. maybe it happened, but because the internet really doesn't exist, it didn't actually happen after-all. all of this is very interesting and mysterious indeed. :)

No, Twatter and Farcebox would require advanced Artificial Stupidity, and that's much harder to create. :~

This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends; you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I don't think the writer of the article actually read the theory. It's not that we are all AI's, but that bots are being used to manipulate popular opinion on the internet i.e. social media. Here is a quote from the actual theory:
Quote:
The Problem: Outline the basics of what appears to be happening. There is a large-scale, deliberate effort to manipulate culture and discourse online and in wider culture by utilising a system of bots and paid employees whose job it is to produce content and respond to content online in order to further the agenda of those they are employed by. Already we've seen this in foreign nations influencing elections by manipulating advertising algorithms on social media in order to push specific candidates. As I see it is due to a "positive feedback loop"
Dead Internet Theory: Most of the Internet is Fake[^]
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid." Ignorant - An individual without knowledge, but is willing to learn. Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning. Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

I haven't researched the rabbit-hole, but I've seen things, such as deep fakes and read posts that seem to lend support to it. My initial observance is that by just reading the article, many people take it as fact even when the article links back to the source. By reading the source material, you can tell the article itself is "BS" as the author claims the theory is "BS". I'm surprised as to how many people just believe what they see and read on the internet without questioning any of it. It's just taken as fact. :doh:

That's exactly what an AI would want you to believe... :doh:
