Since a while ago, the quality of my online interactions has dwindled. I wasn't aware of the DIT back then, but now it has become clear to me there's something going on, which goes far beyond what the youtube explainer videos admit.
All social media sites are infested with bots that attempt to shape online discourse, demoralize the real users, manufacture feeds with fake or irrelevant information, and so on.
It's safe to say most online users are not real, but rather bots/LLMs/AI. This is what I will attempt to illustrate here.
