yall ever heard of the Dead Internet Theory?

[Cakebatter]

I guess I should have been more clear, theories like the FBI being involved in political affairs and the murder of civil right activists are actually sound because they are grounded in facts. Nobody today even the FBI themselves would deny they were involved in the dismantlement of black groups or organizations at the time. Silly conspiracy theories like "everyone is a bot but me" sound like the fantasy of cac incels who actually spend too much time on internet, play too much video games or watch too many sci-fi movies. And when you look where these kind of theories emerge it's usually the case.

I know bot activity has rose up but not the point where they make the majority of interactions on social media, what @Stir Fry posted shows why it's not possible, at least for now.

I understand where you are coming from. Look, I can't speak for bots taking over the internet, but I take umbrage when folks pretend only the less intelligent believe in conspiracy theories, especially given what has occurred to black folks. Many in the black community were considered goofballs for thinking the CIA had anything to do with Black people getting addicted to crack cocaine en masse, yet Gary Webb's book 'Dark Alliance' didn't get released until 1998, long after the crack epidemic started. Regarding MLK jr's assassination, the Loyd Jowers trial didn't end until 1999. Conspiracy theories proven correct doesn't change the past eye rolls, prior their exposure. I'm old enough to remember when the above were just conspiracy theories.

Black people are the OG conspiracy theorists, and for good reason. No one looks at you weird today when you say you believe James Earl Ray most likely wasn't MLK's shooter. Especially when the King family agrees with you. Same with believing the FBI was involved with the murder of Malcolm X and Fred Hampton. How about the CIA's involvement with the infiltration of drugs in black communities?

Gary Webb catching two to the domepiece already show ya da dope, it ain’t no theory imo

AI will never be this advanced

There was (is?) a whole sub on Reddit that was AI generated and this was damn near 5 years ago. A made up thread with made up replies based on how people write. Since people online argue like kids, it was highly realistic…. and entertaining

The Amount of Bots you see on any social media is crazy look at the likes or comments and majority are bots it’s looking spooky

I wonder how many real people are actually using the internet?

How much content do we consume that is generated by bots? how have they influenced the information we see?
