In 2024, over half of all internet traffic is generated by bots. For human users, it is increasingly challenging to tell what's real and what's not. These developments breath new life into the Dead Internet Theory. Have we, in our quest for clicks, killed the web?

dead-internet-theory.jpg

If you've been on social media lately, you might have noticed a surge in content that is clearly generated by AI becoming viral—examples include sand- and bottle-sculptures, tiny houses, celebrities, and, of course, Jesus Christ. The community at r/ChatGPT on Reddit seems particularly captivated by this trend, with memes making fun about the 'boomers on Facebook' who fall for these fake images dominating the subreddit for weeks. Ironically, even the tech-savvy users on Reddit sometimes fail to distinguish between real and manipulated content. For example, one user reposted a photo of an olive tree that looks like it has a face, assuming it was AI-generated or at least photoshopped, and mocked the gullible people who took it for real. However, it turns out that both the photo and the tree are genuine. You can find the tree in Puglia, Italy, and pictures of it from various angles had already gone viral long before AI image generation was sophisticated enough to deceive us gullible h00mans.

However, the ease with which posts like 'My son built a spaceship out of plastic bottles' gain massive attention and engagement is alarming. The comments on such posts are also …

Absolutely, I appreciate the reminder. If you're experiencing difficulties with your CRM's workflow feature, it might be beneficial to provide more details about the specific steps you've taken so far to troubleshoot the issue. That way, others in the community can offer more targeted assistance or suggest alternative solutions based on your experience. Being thorough and clear about your problem can help expedite the resolution process.

AGI Talks: Interview with Anthony Scodary

In the latest AGI Talks, we asked Anthony Scondary 10 questions about Artificial Intelligence (AI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), and the impact these technologies could have on society.

1. What is your preferred definition of AGI?

Anthony Scodary: Human intelligence isn't understood well enough to uncontroversially define tasks or tests that span the range of the human intellect. If you include emotional intelligence, mobility, common sense, and all sensory modalities, it's even harder to define AGI via a battery of tests. Instead, I prefer an argument from François Chollet, whom I greatly admire on this topic, that we'll know we have AGI when more than 50% of the gross domestic product is generated by virtual agents.

2. …and ASI (Artificial Superintelligence)?

When AI appears to be improving exponentially, the difference between ≥ and > is …

A school intranet is like a private website for students, teachers, and staff. It helps them communicate, share resources, and access important information within the school community. It's like a digital hub where everyone can connect and collaborate on school-related matters securely.

Super familiar with Sitepoint :) Their forums used to be a big competitor to DaniWeb back in the day.

Why did you inject a random spammy link into the middle of your post? :(

Reddit, warrior forum, site point, currency dynamics forum and I guess that is all. Mostly it is or technical forums or forex. Just trying to understand that niche better that is all. Site point is a good ui/ux design forum btw so worth I guess to check!

Doggy Adventures: Share a recent memorable experience you had with your dog on a nature trail or a dog-friendly hiking spot. Talk about the sights, sounds, and smells that made the outing special.
Canine Companions: Discuss the unique bond you have with your dog and how they've impacted your life. Whether it's providing emotional support, companionship, or simply making you smile with their antics, there's always a heartwarming story to tell.
Paw-some Activities: Mention some fun activities you enjoy doing with your dog, like playing fetch, teaching new tricks, or exploring new dog parks. You might even have some amusing anecdotes or hilarious mishaps to share!

I think it’s much more authentic and useful to have direct quotes. Paraphrasing loses a lot in translation IMHO.

For users who are tired of seeing AI-generated content on Google, a simple fix is to write "before:2023" in front of search queries. Gets rid of all the "let's-delve-into-the-rich-tapestry..." BS.

Meanwhile, in other news, Google's huge March algorithm update, that is still going out, is focused hard and heavy on cutting out all AI-generated content from the search results. So, on one hand, you have Google making it super easy to churn out AI-generated content on the web, and on the other hand, you have Google churning their wheels trying to figure out efficient ways to cut out all AI-generated content on the web.

I recall seeing this on Bing and Edge as well.

It shouldn't be long till Apple turns it on in Safari.

Let me share a tip about search today. Use “before:2023" at the beginning of your search string. You get a completely different set of results which won't include AI generated content.

Ah. A hobby with many layers ;-)

We've had at least one dog and one cat for more than 40 years, sometimes two of each. There is something very calming about having a cat curled up on your chest while reading (me, not the cat) or a dog (our favourite - Irish Setters) walking by your side, tail wagging (the dog, not me). Sadly, we no longer have the energy for a dog so now we have but a single cat.

Dani I believe that the LLM that you asked to give you ideas about a topic , was correct about the engagement such a topic would have , but not how it would work in the real world. These kind of topics are great to engage people but not to interact , and interaction is what forums is about.

I assume that what you're getting at is that, unlike topics that bring about a lot of back-and-forth discussion, this one is more so everyone responding individually to the initial question being asked of them. I would like to argue that, not only are both entirely useful forms of communication within a discussion forum, but that perhaps topics like these bring a slight advantage.

It's been my experience that, in the context of forum discussions, when you have a lot of back-and-forth going, it tends to be associated with more heated discussions, more emotional discussions, and the ilk. This is just my own personal experience, mind you. But I've just personally found that that the only way to drive that type of communication has been to have a discussion about something either polarizing or controversial.

On the other hand, I think that with these types of discussions, while it's true that all of the respondents aren't really talking amongst each other, but all rather responding to me, and only me, everyone is reading everyone else's replies. That means that we are all learning more about each other, and, perhaps …

Apparently a new feature in Google Chrome is to automatically generate AI content. All I need to do is start typing a sentence or two here in this textbox, right click, select "Help Me Write", choose if I want it to be short-form or long-form text, be formal or casual in tone, and let Chrome work its magic ...

For those of you who know my stance on ChatGPT when it comes to posts on DaniWeb, you know I don't see this as a good thing. I feel as if it's just going to be the start of AI-generated drivel overshadowing high-quality content written by industry experts.

With "Tennis Elbow", it’s the tendons that connect these muscles to the bones that are primarily affected by this condition. Tendons, which connect muscles to bones, are primarily composed of collagen, a protein that requires several key nutrients for its formation and function.

Vitamin A: It can help enhance collagen development.
Vitamin C: It may help collagen structure and ligament function. Vitamin C is also important because it helps increase collagen production.
Vitamin D: It helps increase bone mineral density and strengthens the skeletal muscles, improving the tendon-to-bone healing process.
Copper and Zinc: These trace minerals play a role in collagen production.
Magnesium: Diets low in magnesium have been linked to the degeneration of connective tissues, including tendons.
Manganese: This mineral is also important for ligament and tendon health.
Glycine and Proline: These are the major amino acids in tendon collagen.
Leucine, Glycine, Proline, and Cysteine: These amino acids can all synthesize collagen in your body.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): Consuming high amounts of BCAAs can significantly reduce tightness and stiffness in your tendons.
Collagen: Supplementing with collagen peptides may help improve tendon strength and flexibility.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: They are well-known for their anti-inflammatory properties and several research shows the association between omega-3s and tendon health.
Protein, iron and calcium are good to help with strength and flexibility.

HOCM (Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy) is often caused by mutations in several genes that encode components of the contractile and apparatus of the heart muscle cells.
