Dead Internet Theory

Why I’m using less AI than ever (and the one tool I still trust).

I’ve never believed in “dead internet theory before.”

If you’re never heard of it before, it’s from an old reddit post that went viral. The post suggests that 60% of the internet is fake.

It’s happening.
Everyone is figuring out how to make content with AI that feels somewhat human.

Nothing is real anymore.

Don’t believe me?
> Go to LinkedIn
> Go to settings
> Change feed to newest instead of most relevant

9/10 posts are clearly written by AI.

You can feel how artificial it all is.
(Even the likes and comments feel fake).

This has been motivating me to use less AI than ever. Especially for content or anything that requires social nuance.

Many of you are thinking about AI wrong.

Using it to write posts or sales emails is weird.
Using it for math or meticulous tasks is sensible.

If you don’t understand that yet, you will soon.

No shortcuts in brand building.

Before you leave, we have a special sponsor. I use them every day.
And if you're a creator on LinkedIn, this is a must.

Aware is a post scheduler built for LinkedIn users who want to earn more engagement.

How?

1 - Reply to all the comments you missed in a single feed
2 - Discover similar influencers using their database
3 - Create custom lists of users to engage with
4 - Write posts with their AI writer

As you probably know, I ghostwrite for a living.

Logging into each of my clients' accounts to post is a hassle.

But with Aware, I can log in, quickly schedule content, and reply to missed comments.

Before Aware, I was f***ing up and didn't even know. I was forgetting to respond to comments and ignored my community.
After Aware, I felt so far ahead. It's impossible to fall behind with it.
