What if the internet died years ago, and we're just talking to its ghost? In this chilling episode of The Pine Grove Briar, we unpack the "Dead Internet Theory," a viral concept suggesting that a vast majority of online content and engagement is now generated by AI and bots, not actual people. From strangely generic comments to the eerie silence of old forums, we examine the "symptoms" of a decaying digital world and ask: Who's pulling the strings in this increasingly artificial reality?
