No one on the internet knows you’re a bot

Something very scary is happening on the internet. It’s a horror story unfolding before us, in three simple acts.

Back in 1993, we used to joke about it: anyone can hide behind a screen name, but how bad can it get? Maybe we’ll find out soon.

AI technology is improving fast enough that I had a bit of an existential crisis recently, wondering if I was an AI too. People have no idea what is real and what is not on the internet. With the 2024 presidential election approaching, we have a recipe for disaster.

We may be so comprehensively copulated at this point that it might be impossible to work our way out. Make a cup of coffee and take a deep breath; this isn’t going to be pretty.
