It was horrible.
podcast-host
A whole conversation happened there, and not a single human being was involved at all.
podcast-host
Just machines.
podcast-host
Every part of that exchange, though, was designed to look like it came from a real person.
podcast-host
And I find that quite tragic and hilarious at the same time.
podcast-host
Tragic because deep inside of me is this wish for interactions to be genuine and authentic, things between people, exchange between real human beings.
podcast-host
And hilarious because having lived through the development of these automated systems and having participated in using these systems myself to get what I needed.
podcast-host
I kind of realize that we are responsible for this kind of stuff to exist.
podcast-host
This is what people call the dead internet theory, if you look at it from like the outside perspective, right?
podcast-host
Just machines talking to machines.
podcast-host
And I think it is worth talking about because we, as software founders and as entrepreneurs in this space, were quite likely to use AI tools to build our businesses.
podcast-host
The output of these tools now becomes often quite AI generated or has a lot of AI generated.
podcast-host
Generated content or components and AI-generated data, or AI-augmented data, if you want to call it that.
podcast-host
So in some way, at the very least, we might be contributing to a network that is increasingly filled by AI systems talking to other AI systems with AI content.
podcast-host
A quick word from our sponsor here, paddle.com.
podcast-host
I use paddle as my merchant of record for all my software projects and they take care of taxes, currencies, all that kind of stuff.
podcast-host
So I can focus on dealing with my users and my competitors.
podcast-host
So if you would rather just build your product instead of dealing with all these other things, check out paddle.com as your payment provider and merchant of record.
podcast-host
Now, the debt internet theory isn't about the useful kind of machine-to-machine communication that we have, like APIs or remote procedure calls if you live in the 90s, or systems that are supposed to interface with other systems just to fetch data, push data, create actions for us.
podcast-host
All of that is fine.
