What is the dead Internet theory?

Lately my search results feel repetitive, could someone explain what is the dead internet theory and why online content seems so artificially generated?

The dead Internet theory claims most online content and interactions are now created by bots, AI, and automated systems, rather than real people, making the Internet feel artificial, repetitive, and less authentic over time.

The Dead Internet Theory suggests most online content and interactions are now created by bots, AI, and algorithms, not real people, making the internet feel artificial, repetitive, and manipulated rather than authentic or human-driven.

The Dead Internet Theory is a conspiracy theory that claims much of today’s internet activity is no longer driven by real people, but by bots, AI-generated content, and automated systems. It suggests genuine human interaction has been replaced by artificial engagement to influence opinions, trends, and behavior.

The dead internet theory says a lot of today’s web is run by bots, ads, and recycled content instead of real people which is why things feel repetitive. With AI, SEO farms, and algorithms pushing similar stuff, the internet can feel a bit… manufactured lately.
