Everyone on the Internet is a bot, except for you.
Is a real conspiracy theory btw
It almost seems like, some conspiracy theories aren't that crazy after all.
I think it's very likely that profit-driven social media sites use fake accounts to boost their stats to advertisers and the like. Throw in corporations using fake accounts to sell shit as well as govt agencies using fake accounts to push their narratives, and the mainstream internet seems like a much more lonely place.
Not sure if trolling or not.... It's trivially disprovable.
It's an interesting thought experiment though
I would maybe buy it if real people hadn't established a presence on the internet well before llm's could pass a Turing test.
Cold fusion has a very interesting video about this topic and how AI fits into all of this.

There are no humans on the internet
I remember the earlier days of the internet, when the men were men, the women were men, and the children were FBI agents.
Some of the men were children. I was 12 when I first learned I could just click "yes" when the internet asked "are you 18+" I was one day older when I learned what browser history was. Then began a 4 year game of cat and mouse between my father and I. He'd try to catch me looking at porn and I'd try to figure out how he caught me.
Good times.
Ooh modern solipsism!
I thought we were all dogs? No? Just me?
