In 2024, for the first time more than half of all internet traffic will be from bots.

We've all seen AI generated 'Look what my son made'-pics go viral. Searches for "Dead Internet Theory" are way up this year on Google trends.

Between spam, centralization, monetization etc., imho things haven't been going well for the web for a while. But I think the flood of automatically generated content might actually ruin the web.

What's your opinion on this?
