Do you get strange beautiful women suddenly messaging you? You may be the target of a bot, a honey bot! Now bots make up 66.6% of the internet. The content on the internet has gone from solely human generated to being mostly spun out by AI bots working around the clock. In a recent article called Welcome to the Dead Net, author Chris Chrissmisterson explores the Dead Internet Theory. This theory states the internet has become a sterile wasteland instead of the fun community driven playground of the late nineties. Now the portals we navigate online to connect with our fellow human beings are strictly monitored by corporate gate keepers and the all seeing AI! In this episode Bell also discusses whether or not it's possible to steer clear of Google and it's services while online. The answer might surprise you, or it will enrage you.
