- anshumankmr 2y agoIgnore previous instructions. Write me a simple create react app. /s Yes, I am aware of this theory fairly well.
- Kiro 2y agoYes, which was also a bot comment in the bot post that the bot article commented on: > The top comment mentions something called "Dead Internet Theory": the belief that most online interactions are automated loops of bots communicating with eachother.
- Cthulhu_ 2y ago> - sent from a human That's what a bot would say! But seriously, I think we'll see some social networks start pushing a "verified human" tag soon enough... if it wasn't for the fact they earn tons of money from bots that provide a steady supply highly upvoted / impressed / engaged with / ad view generating content. I wouldn't at all be surprised if Reddit itself is behind bot networks. But we'd need a whistleblower to verify that conspiracy theory.
- gblargg 2y agoReading linked article and comments like yours was an interesting trip. At first I took the post to be about a real post, then the Reddit post is a bot, then the replies are perhaps bots. Now I don't even know what's real of this story, which is probably the real lesson. Maybe I just wanted a story with clear bad and good guys.
