I first heard of Dead Internet Theory in 2021-2022. I'm honestly not surprised that this shit is happening now. I'm predicting in the next 2-3 years we won't be able to tell the difference between an account run by an LLM and a human without specialized software. Think uBlock Origin but for LLM detection.

This is more than just plausible speculation.
It is inevitable, and I hate it.
Worse; I predict you'll get all sorts of fuckheads crawl out of the woodwork, inventing new mental gymnastics centered around blurring the distinction between an LLM and a human consciousness, as if the output itself was more important than the process behind it; likely they will lean heavily into the inscrutable "Black Box" nature of the human mind, and posit that the only measurable elements are the outputs of either system, as the human mind is a world unto itself, and the sum total of a whole LLM's data sets, though man-made, is more or less unfathomably complex after it's been left to train itself for enough iterations.
I am afraid to meet this man, because I know that I'm going to be strongly compelled to bite off his eyelids.

Bite my eyelids off then: if we actually achieve parity between AI and human output (and not just some breathless Hypebeast tech CEO claiming that they've achieved parity) then no, I don't really care whether there's a "soul" behind an output: if a machine had made the film The Lighthouse instead of Robert Eggers I fail to see what the film would lack as a result.

Or, to put it another way: people might bemoan the death of quality craftsmanship, but if a factory could churn out goods indistinguishable from artisan furniture in terms of durability and aesthetic value and uniqueness, I wouldn't particularly care that it came out of a soulless machine.

All that being said, I don't think we'll reach that point barring some insane revolution in our understanding of intelligence: there will always be tells, always something off, something too rote, the slop will out itself as slop not through some immaterial aura of "unintentionality" but because it looks and sounds and is constructed like the kitsch home decor in a Dollar General.

This quibble aside, I'm not eager for AI to reach the point of general human-level performance, assuming that is even possible, since that'd mean every non-dextrous task on the planet would get outsourced to a server farm, and also that propaganda would be terrifying: AI might be "good enough" right now for pushing a message, but imagine if some spook in Langley (or ex-KGB agent in Russia, or some Chinese thought-policeman, etc, etc) could spin up 20,000 virtual disinfo agents with actual human-level performance, and not just current LLMs' shallow simulacrum thereof. It makes me shudder.

And in the meantime, I wish current AI slop could be scrubbed from the 'net because it is ugly and uninformative, and I loathe the people who use it to try and make a quick buck off of e-pollution.

I don't think AI will ever crack "Versimilitude" truly, as an AI has no frame of reference for what it is like to be a person, or to live a life; it is simply a throughput process, arranging chunks of story according to where they seem to belong.
But stories do not have to be logical, and although they have traditional formulas, these formulas permutate and sometimes invert symbolically; I do not believe a non-thinking process can ever truly crack the secret of telling a good story, because stories are for thinking beings.
However, light shows and loud noises may enthuse even animals and infants.

The AI influence on Youtube is turning it into a wasteland.
I notice a TON of occultist nonsense being pushed on YouTube lately, most of it AI generated, and I believe most of the comments sections and updoots are bot-related as well, as all of the comments are glowing and overly well typed/articulate to be real, and they all pop up within hours of these videos showing up on my algorithm.
The occult shit is creepy to me... big tech seems hell bent on brainwashing people into gnosticism and the occult.

I think AI needs to be used as a tool and not a main source for entertainment. Only Autist and shit can only enjoy that it can make shit for them without putting any effort on their part.
Do I think though it could be good making funny entertainment, Yes. Do I think it should be a main persons source of everything on how content should be made, No.

AI as we know it is entirely, 100% backward-facing. It can't actually do anything new, only remix the old. Insofar as it does anything a human can do, it can only produce the most pedestrian, derivative, unimaginative slop. It's incapable of doing something new. So, for example, AI could not have invented punk rock, Ren & Stimpy, or French impressionism. I'm not sure it could have even created Thundercats or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Moreover, AI has no personal experiences or interests. Lord of the Rings was born from Tolkien's personal experiences at Oxford, with industrialization, and WWI. It came from his personal fascination with languages and myths.

How could AI have written the Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S Grant?

All I got was this from chatgpt


January 13, 1865

The war continues. At times, it feels like I have been in its grasp for far longer than I ever intended. I have seen the horrors of battle, and the weight of command grows heavier with each passing day. I often wonder if I am truly the man to lead this nation through its trials, or if fate has simply placed me at the helm because no other will take the wheel. I am no orator, no politician; I am a soldier, and a soldier’s duty is to fight. Yet, this war has demanded far more than I could have ever anticipated. The responsibility weighs upon me, pressing down as though the very burden of the country itself lies on my shoulders.

It is not the bloodshed that haunts me most. Men die in war—that is a fact, unavoidable and grim. What troubles me, what leaves my sleep disturbed, is the knowledge that I command the lives of those men. I tell myself that it is for the greater good, that the cause is just, but still, when I stand before the battlefield at dusk, with the cries of the wounded ringing in my ears, I cannot help but feel the deep sting of their sacrifice.

I sometimes find myself lost in thought, pondering the future. Will we ever truly heal from the scars this conflict has carved into our nation? When I stand at the front, ready to give my orders, I know I must appear resolute. But inside, I am a man like any other, with fears and doubts that threaten to overwhelm me.

Yet, in this, I find my resolve. I am not alone. The men who serve beside me, their courage and their trust in me, are a constant reminder of why I continue. If I falter, they falter. And so, I march forward, for them, for the Union, and for the future of this great land.

Probably because occult shit is profitable. When you research occultism, it feels like you discovered some new le secret and must find more. Also videos like "IF YOU SEE THIS, YOU HAVE MANIFESTED LUCK" are good for the algorithm machine.
