Yes, the #EternalSeptember has spilled over into all the netz.
For those asking about the reality of fake content:
The lion's share of Internet content is fake and bot generated.
35 % of content is bots.
50% of website articles are ai-generated.
74% of web pages consist at least partially of ai generated content.
These numbers are taken from recent studies.
I believe that much of the Internet was already AI generated long before the release of open-source AI tools and before most people ever knew AI existed.
Many popular youtube channel comment feeds are mostly ai profiles making ai generated comments.
#DeadInternetTheory is real.
This is all the result of the MockingBorg intelligence agency agenda to destroy all legitimate human interaction among the population, filling everyone's minds with MockingBorg delusions and ideas. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's what they're literally doing.
In the niche spaces where real interaction occurs, live MockingBorg agents spin up profiles to cause dissention, stress, and contention until they can figure out how to spin up an automated replacement in that venue.
The checklist for a social media post is ever getting longer:
Is it fake?
Is it by a bot?
Is it by a troll?
Is it click bait?
Is it rage bait?
Is it a dogmatical post?
Is it a fanatical post?
Is it a puritanical post?
Is it by a toxic poster?
Or is it posted only to annoy or tease?
(There is an even longer version...)
