[영어기사] 모르셨나본데, 인터넷은 2016년에 죽었답니다
What if the Internet is dead, and you're the only human among bots and AIs? Are you sure you can tell the difference between the 'alive' and 'dead' Internet? ##Summary The article introduces a conspiracy called ‘the dead Internet theory’ that the Internet is no longer a space for humans - It is dominated by bots and algorithms. The dead Internet theory is first shared by a user named IlluminatiPirate, who claims even the most authentically human-made contents are produced by bots and spread out by algorithms. The conspiracy stretches out to the point that the goal of this dead Internet pheonomenon is to control people’s thoughts and behaviors for the government’s needs. The author of this article does not fully agree with this conspiracy, however says it’s ‘relatable’. The main proof of the dead Internet theory is that you encounter with same trends, news and memes over and over again, and there are always enough amount of reactions - replies, likes - spread them out. The author also quoted Reddit users’ reactions to this theory, who also think the theory is partially convincing. In their sub Reddit posts, the users point out the fact that even if the Internet is already dead and they are surrounded by bots, they cannot tell the difference. ##Comment Is there anybody alive out there? Or am I the only human here in Careerly? If you're not a robot, plz reply with signs that only humans can recognize.
