Dead internet theory is one of those ideas that keeps resurfacing or being revied with articles like this, even though the evidence is only limited to confirmation bias. It ignores that there are huge parts of the internet that are not dead. I think it's more like the quality of discourse has fallen for reasons that are not clear.
The article looked at the PhysicsForums and found that 92% of the text is AI or machine generated...
The internet is way bigger than PhysicsForums. That was my point, but your response seems to confirm what I said about discourse declining though.
