An AI-generated YouTube short of a baby 'surviving a plane crash and saved by a puppy' has more than 400 million views. It also has more than 27,000 comments that mostly look AI-generated. It’s AI talking to AI.</p><p>Sometime in the mid-2010s, a conspiracy theory called the 'dead internet theory' started circulating on the darker parts of the web. It made its way to 4chan’s /x/ board in 2020 and from there it has gained traction. The theory posits that the internet will eventually become entirely devoid of genuine human activity and that all online content, interactions and accounts will be generated by bots, AI or automated systems rather than real people. The conspiracy is that the entire internet is a government-manipulated psy-op used to influence public opinion, control news narratives or boost engagement metrics for commercial or political purposes.</p><p>The terrible reality is that dead internet theory isn’t wrong. It’s becoming true, more and more so all the time. </p><p>(. . .)</p><p>Another recent example is a band called the Velvet Sundown that has 300,000 Spotify listeners a month. The band appears to be completely fake. The photo of the group and the album cover are AI-generated. It’s no wonder that people are starting to ask whether this sort of content will be pushed by platforms to minimize the amount of money they have to pay artists.</p><p>Already, a woman on TikTok has claimed one of Velvet Sundown’s songs was the first to pop up on her Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify. There is a revolt against the 'slop,' as youngsters refer to AI-generated crap. When someone posts it, the comments will just read: 'SLOP SLOP SLOP SLOP SLOP GARBAGE.'
