The dead internet theory was posited years ago by netizens in forums that believe that the internet is quickly being replaced by bots, and is run and controlled by artificial intelligence. The theory further alleges that the internet died in 2016 and that what the world has now is really being run by the U.S. government, and basically everything people are encountering and interacting with is just AI-generated content.
While this is of course just a theory, the rate at which AI is taking over the internet and finding its way into everyday life and interactions is becoming harder to ignore – that is, if people even realize they are consuming AI-generated content and bot traffic.
Futurism reported in January that close to 60% of the internet already consists of internet slime, scraped from the recesses of the world wide web and is rapidly being copied by AI algorithms, which therefore has given the dead internet theory some credit.
The tech outlet reported:
The internet’s steady fall into the AI-garbled dumpster continues. As Vice reports, a recent study conducted by researchers at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) AI Lab found that a “shocking amount of the web” is already made up of poor-quality AI-generated and translated content.
The paper is yet to be peer-reviewed, but “shocking” feels like the right word. According to the study, over half — specifically, 57.1 percent — of all of the sentences on the internet have been translated into two or more other languages. The poor quality and staggering scale of these translations suggest that large language model (LLM) -powered AI models were used to both create and translate the material. The phenomenon is especially prominent in “lower-resource languages,” or languages with less readily available data with which to more effectively train AI models.
In other words, in what the researchers believe to be a ploy to garner clickbait-driven ad revenue, AI is being used to first generate poor-quality English-language content at a remarkable scale, and then AI-powered machine translation (MT) tools transcribe said content into several other languages. The translated material gets worse each time — and as a result, entire regions of the web are filling to the brim with degrading AI-scrambled copies of copies.
“Machine-generated, multi-way parallel translations not only dominate the total amount of translated content on the web in lower-resource languages,” the AWS researchers write in the paper, “it also constitutes a large fraction of the total web content in those languages.”‘
Lessons In Internet Culture put together a short video essay explaining the conundrum.
As AI scours and feeds the internet to consume more information, it is forecast that the AI models will eventually run out of things to consume and emulate.
Research firm Epoch AI believes that by 2032, or even as early as 2027, AI will have exposed itself to everything in it.
If chatbots consume all of the available data, and there are no further advances in data efficiency, I would expect to see a relative stagnation in the field.
Models [will] only improve slowly over time as new algorithmic insights are discovered and new data is naturally produced.
Pablo Villalobos, the study’s lead author, told Live Science
Meta has said they will train future AIs with chatbot interactions.

Villalobos added:
If they succeed in doing so, and if the usefulness of private data is comparable to that of public web data, then it’s quite likely that leading AI companies will have more than enough data to last until the end of the decade.
At that point, other bottlenecks such as power consumption, increasing training costs, and hardware availability might become more pressing than lack of data.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Proverbs 19:2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
And yet in man’s haste to push AI onto us and make it a part of our everyday lives has quickly turned into a total mess, and this mess will only get worse until the whole system inevitably breaks, and therefore causing a mass breakdown of world civilizations and everyday life.
Could it not be any clearer that AI is nothing more than an evil disease, a parasitical infection that only devours but does not produce anything of worth? And yet AI, we are told, is supposed to come save us, spur economic development and increase efficiency; and yet all that it is doing is creating a nightmarish, artificial world where nothing is real anymore whilst making the real world a worse off place to live in.

Proverbs 30:15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: [16] The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
