Future ain't what it used to be. The web is dead (worse actually, it's a putrid rotting zombie, destroying our children's lives and ours), but the internet will survive.


Funny - it still seems alive when I use it, including typing this very comment.

What are you talking about, is this a rant against TikTok or other socials?


I suspect they're referring to "dead internet theory"[0], and extending the metaphor to zombies in that internet content will still appear to be written by humans/be organic, but will instead be AI slop.
