Marching ever closer to the dead internet.


Status AI functions like Twitter (now X), but with a twist: all participants, except for the user, are [AI bots]. The platform encourages users to post messages, which then receive responses from dozens of fake accounts — some acting as fans, others as haters.

If you approach people and tell them you're normal, they won't believe you. Something similar applies to saying you're human on the Internet.

Hello, yes, I am a human.

Suspicious, isn't it?

Reddit with its default text-only subs already exists, one may consume LLM slop there.
