Yes, as per the theory the internet is 'dying' by parastical bot infestation. ChatGPT/AI has made the matter worse because now even during interactions when there is actually a human on the other end you can no longer assume they are not generating responses or new content with the help of said bot.

That said, I think we are still early. Grassroots projects like SN and other alt media make it more difficult for bot farms (whether militarized or corporate or just spammers) to fly under the radar. In fact, we've got a great v4v feature built in that is mitigating that to some extent with the zaps.

So it's like anything; nothing can stay still without dying - it's up to us to keep adapting the tech and improving our communication procedures to retain open discourse. Even if gasp that involves resolving to have more IRL discussions.
