Pieter Levels posted that nobody asks questions on Stack Overflow anymore and that AI reply bots now dominate Reddit and X to promote brands. With no real human content left, he said there is no fresh training data for future models. Levels referenced the Dead Internet Theory. Ryan Hoover replied that AI will become the primary curator for purchase decisions, sometimes without any human in the loop. The posts quote the Wikipedia entry describing the theory as the idea that the internet consists mostly of bot activity and algorithmic curation.
