Key point

AI-generated text is flooding the internet, even distorting human writing style.

Details

The online space has now become a place where the mental effort of filtering out AI-generated text alone is exhausting. Jason Koebler calls this environment not simply a Dead Internet, but a Zombie Internet, where humans and bots keep mixing and interacting.

The Zombie Internet he describes contains all of the following mixed together:

  • Conversations exchanged between humans and bots
  • AI agents inserted among humans
  • Interactions between people who use AI and people who don't
  • Conversations among people who use AI
  • Automated YouTube channels chasing profit, AI influencers, blogs, and X/LinkedIn accounts

On top of this, AI-made book summaries are sold as if they were the original books, and accounts run by marketing firms churn out Reddit posts and comments pretending to be sincere advice. As a result, online writing is becoming increasingly hard to distinguish, and even ordinary human writing style is being tainted by AI-style expressions.
