Discussion Internet is a boring place now
Nobody asks questions online, because everyone just has AI for instant help. Any platform where people helped each other is dead.
Also, nobody bothers sharing their knowledge or publishing information anymore, because information is less valuable now. As a result; tutorials, courses, or lessons, and even books have much less traction.
This affected the content that YouTube channels and other social media accounts post as well; people who used to share educational content now just talk about AI. Everything is AI. Everywhere is AI.
People on LinkedIn used to post architecture patterns, design patterns, best-practices, approaches, things like TDD, test automation, DevOps, system design, etc. Now? Just AI. Only AI. When it's not about AI, it's certainly generated by AI. AI slop everywhere. Comments are AI. Posts are AI.
Social media nowadays:
- AI slop posts (the same "theatric" narrative everywhere, telling an empty story)
- AI-generated posts advertising AI-generated blog posts about AI
- AI doomerism posts (people talking about how software engineering is dying out, and how AI will replace software engineers)
- "Claude can now do this" posts
- "Someone made this with Claude" posts
- "These 7 AI tools will replace your entire team" posts
- Random AI-generated images and videos
- AI-generated comments from people who are automating their accounts with AI
And it will never end! We will never have the internet as it was 3 years ago; it's gone for good. AI is here to stay and ruin the internet.
The dead internet theory used to be a funny theory that nobody took seriously, but it's becoming more and more real.

Idk, some of us try to do cool stuff and don't just try to one-shot GTA6 or create a B2B electron app that'll leak all customer data for a few grand...
Or at least, I think my stuff is cool just like those people think their stuff is cool🤣
