+# Dead Internet Theory
+Gotta keep the title catchy, in hopes Google *may* index it. Anyway...
+
+Is anyone still out there in the internet? I mean this seriously. As of late with my YouTube algorithm getting worse by day, I've come to the realization that Google and Reddit are mostly... Dead?
+
+Now in fairness many subreddits are still somewhat active and moderated (even with death of API, therefore AutoMod tools), but by day it feels more and more of it gets sloppified. Half of r/ProgrammerHumor is LLM memes, which, in fairness is funny and is the hot thing these days but

+# I Keep Being Shown AI SaaS Projects/Websites
+This is not new, at least not the AI part. We *always* had websites that were launched to do one thing, but always asked money from you, even if the thing was trivially simple, like converting a .webm to .mp4, .mp3, etc. Yet these days wherever, whatever I look at, is AI generated slop.

+Don't believe me? Try looking up any new projects, and tell me they're not AI. As of April 27th, when I Google "trending projects on github", this is what I get:

+Notice the pattern? It's all AI stuff! And then, there are projects I keep coming across as ads. Most recent one was this website called `getdesign.md`. What is it? It's a collection of .md files someone generated by pulling and passing .css files from websites into an LLM. See for yourself:

+
+When I saw this I recalled this toold called gptzero. It claims to be an "AI detector", so I tried giving it a shot, signed up, all ready and... Website doesn't work. They forgot to set their CORS headers or something, idk.
+
+So I tried looking up alternatives. Oh dear... It's *all* AI.

+
+All of it? All of it. It's all AI. Comments, links, posts, sites... It's all AI.
+
+Therefore, the question: Is anyone out there?
