6/ So, is the internet already dead? Or are we just now realizing that we’ve been talking to ghosts in the machine?

5/ This isn’t just spam, it’s shaping reality. AI is controlling what trends, what gets seen, and what disappears. And we keep feeding it by engaging, even when we don’t know what’s real.

4/ Social media is worse. Fake accounts, fake engagement, fake influencers. How much of what you see is real people vs. automated noise? The lines are blurring fast.

3/ Search engines are flooded with AI-generated sludge, low-quality, keyword-stuffed articles that exist only to game the algorithm. The more AI content exists, the more AI scrapes and recycles it.

2/ AI doesn’t just generate content, it generates other AIs that do the same. Bots create posts, comment on posts, argue with other bots, and artificially boost engagement. It’s a feedback loop of fake interaction.
