Why has a social network where everyone is a bot become so popular?
english.elpais.com
external-link
The rise of Status AI, an app for interacting with AI-generated characters, is the latest example of a rapidly growing phenomenon that has yet to be fully studied

https://english.elpais.com/technology/2025-04-12/why-has-a-social-network-where-everyone-is-a-bot-become-so-popular.html

Marching ever closer to the dead internet.


Status AI functions like Twitter (now X), but with a twist: all participants, except for the user, are [AI bots]. The platform encourages users to post messages, which then receive responses from dozens of fake accounts — some acting as fans, others as haters.

      If you approach people and tell them you’re normal, they won’t believe you. Something similar applies to saying you’re human on the Internet.

      Hello, yes, I am a human.

      Suspicious, isn’t it?

    Sounds fun to play around with, but lonely, socially isolated people will get sucked in. God knows the internet has created enough people like that, this just feeds the beast.
