Last week I stumbled upon The Dead Internet Theory, and got very intrigued. Basically it’s a theory that suggests that most of the content and users of the internet is now dominated by bot activity, and how the internet is just filling up with automated and AI-driven content. You see less of organic human activity and more of plain well-written spam.

This theory got me thinking about my own blog and how I’ve used AI for certain posts to help me, all from basic title ideas to full-fledged drafts. Most of them doesn’t sound like me at all, in my opinion.

Originally I just wanted to start blogging to become a better writer, but I guess due to stress about posting content fast and perfect I’ve not become a better writer and have just relied more and more on AI to help me.

So from now on I will stop using AI to help me write posts and just write when I feel like it. The previous posts I’ve used AI in will be deleted and redone on a later point.

Also to make it more fun, I’ve started to write my ideas and drafts by hand in a notebook while learning to use my left hand for writing.
