I suspect there will still be online interactions with humans, just more interactions with bots. Unfortunately, it’s we humans behind the mess. Even if we pass laws to stop it (or even forced labels of “I’m a bot” on bot accounts), some people won’t play by the rules. So the change is going to happen. We can try to persuade the public, but we know how well that works:
So what do you propose be done about it?
So change means “dying”? So every time a tadpole evolves into a frog, a tadpole dies? Should we have protest signs that read, “FROGS KILL TADPOLES! DOWN WITH FROGS”?
Bots are increasing. But the Internet is not dead/dying, just changing. Many of the “The 10 bots are posting a total of 1000 times a day.” are repost bots merely parroting human generated content.
I wonder, though, if this will cause the scrapers to be impacted by the reposters or other AI generated content.
But is the Internet dying? The thing it doesn’t say is if the human participation is dwindling.
To keep it simple, I’ll work with small numbers. Imagine there are 10 humans online. Now imagine 1 bot on online. Bots are 9% (1 in 11) of this imaginary online community. A year later, those same 10 humans are still online, but there are now 10 bots online; the bots are 50% of the community. This statistic can lead you to think there is less human participation when nothing happened to the humans. The difference is the raw number of bots. This is what I believe is happening, about the same number of humans, just an increasing number of bots, scraping, posting, etc.
X/Twitter is dying because of mismanagement.
“Hi! I’m Clippy! It looks like you’re trying to play Halo. Let’s take you to the Store so you can purchase more DLCs…”
But I just want to play Halo…
“Yes, but the DLCs will make it better!”
But I’m happy with what I already have.
“Oh, look, here’s the store!”
A factual, “You snooze, you lose”. I suspect they lost (or will lose) their jobs.
Good to note, “None on board - including 153 passengers and four flight attendants - were injured during the flight, and there was no damage to the aircraft.”

Maybe the landfill won’t be overstuffed as quickly as expected.

The title I would have used is:
In South Africa, unemployment has remained high for the past two decades, with Black people facing the highest rates, and youth unemployment at an alarming 58%.
However, Rule 1 says “Title must match the article headline”, and that info that I would have used is in the subtitle. But you’re not wrong.

Not all. Not on desktop. You can use it with the IOS app. I asked it
ĉu mi povas uzi la komputilon? (which is Esperanto for “Can I use the computer?”) and without skipping a heartbeat, it replied back in Esperanto,
Jes, vi povas uzi vian komputilon. Kiel mi povas helpi vin? (“Yes, you can use your computer. How can I help you?”)
Some bots I tolerate, others not so much, so I block those. The ones that just mine another site for any new content, I block, as I could just go to that site and read it. The piped.video bot that provides an alternate to youtube (when the piped.video link actaully works) I allow, because Youtube will eventual defeat my work around. So it’s more personal taste.
I have posted correct information like that on Reddit and have been downvoted for providing sourced information. That really discourages my participation. Why try?
I have to brag on Lemmy.world.
This place is friendlier, and a much better place to interact with others. Oh, there’s still a down-vote brigade, but it’s much smaller.
Reddit may still have a huge user base, but it’s becoming facebook-esque; that is, people go to it because they know it, and nothing else. This place is so much better.
Some of his opinions I can’t agree with.

Yeah, I hate it when grandma sends a bunch of snaps rather than posting to Facebook.

So 6-10 years ago, someone’s grandkid said, “Hey, granny, I gotta go. Jimmy just found this amaze-balls puzzle at thejigsawpuzzles.com, and I’m gonna finish it before him.” and that’s how granny found out. /s
“Nobody wakes up every morning and says I have to run a Google query,” Raghavan testified.
No, but during the day I search (duckduckgo) for various issues at work, and at home for all sort of personal information (what’s that restaurant’s menu/phone number?, I need a schematic for washing machine, I even search prices to print a poster at Staples vs. Walmart vs. the UPS Store but used search engines to look at various local options too).
While search engines can provide answers, they can be the conduit to get us to the answers we need (such as how much sodium is in this dish?). I can’t imagine being on the Internet and going a full day without using a search engine at least once.
I got you, bro.
