The dead Internet Theory : How you are probably arguing with a bot

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


This is one of those crazy ideas a lot of people refuse to think about. But honestly, the numbers don't lie. It's already happening.

It's quite possible, especially on Facebook and Twitter/X. The cynical side of me thinks some people are just that stupid, too. I've met enough IRL who make bots look smart.

On the other hand, between propaganda and ad revenue, there are plenty of motivations for fake content and comments. There are sock puppet and bot farms designed to create an illusion of popularity and engagement.

I detest A.I. slop and manipulative behavior, and the internet is full of people already primed with rage and little interest in philosophical reflection.

Or so you may say or think because a bots job is to get people to engage, and other real people do engage whether prompted by a bot or a human. The messaging still gets out to the human factor involved.
If you spend time on the larger comment platforms, a new article gets posted when you happen upon it, maybe there are ten or less comments and they all mostly read like a bot spoke them, spoke for lack of a better word. MSN is a prime example, and what's even more a dead giveaway as such is the lack of maturity in the response. Like they are programmed by younger people. Unless it's twitter, it's not typical of young people to spend time on platforms making comments, they got better things to do, unless they are being paid to do it. If one has spent years blogging, you can differentiate the difference. There has been many times I've often thought some content on here is AI generated, maybe even mixed between what a AI has to say on a topic and further embellished by a human.
Elon Musk concern over bots was a pretense not a concern. The concern comes from someone giving away the game as he took twitter on a hard right turn. I am not on X but there is no doubt in my mind he uses more bots than its prior predecessor. I am sure a lot of those lib, if you want to call them, bot moderators, or moderators of bots, are fired and replace by right handlers, someone could just be angry enough to violate any non-disclosure agreements. Here is a dead giveaway, as if the incredibly insane amount of followers to certain host on X wasn't enough, of how much influence bots have on X as to not being human, is when Alex Jones insulted the crap out of the human followers by mocking them after the election, laughing hardily, tells them the globalist have already done beaten their asses, and then proceeds to slap his paperwork on his desk and pronounces, "let's carry on" or some close phrase like that. It really was a who gives a fuck moment what you think, I am now embellished by one of the richest men in the world and he has a whole lot of bots to declare my popularity, I really don't need you all anymore. You'll like taking a minute to view it, it really doesn't get any better than this:

One huge example, as I just recalled this, is if you go over on Gateway Pundit, and click back and forth from Gateway Pundit to Breitbart, you'll see the bots in all their glory.

Sincerity Meno, doesn't spend well, it's value is established in its meaning.

I don't necessarily think it's all bots, now bots and bot handlers, yes, as in farming, people employed to operate bot system. I also think those individuals engage themselves in comments because you pick up a difference in tone of what's being said or replied to. On a platform such as this it's more easy to pick up between repetitive responses often quipped and say to yourself that is a bot, now when engaging with that same avatar and the response gets more of a personal response, I often feel that person operates a bot or has programmed a bot to respond when they are not on sight.

I have serious misgivings around world population numbers we've been told. Too many incentives for countries to lie about headcount; there may be fewer than 3 billion of us.
Filling the net with bots would be a great way to muddy those waters.
