Conspiracy 101, now in its first season, features The Dead Internet Theory: Is the Web Mostly Bots?

Episode description and notes

This thought-provoking episode explores the controversial idea that much of today’s internet may be driven by automated accounts, artificial intelligence, algorithms, and manufactured content rather than genuine human interaction. It examines why this theory has gained attention, how bots influence online conversations and trends, and whether the internet is truly becoming less human. Separating speculation from credible evidence, the episode invites listeners to question what they see online and consider how technology is reshaping trust, authenticity, and communication in the digital world.
