Do you ever feel like the internet is getting weirder and less useful? You are not alone. More and more people worry AI is slowly killing the web by flooding it with cheap, machine-made articles.

Right now, bots make up over 60% of all web traffic, and AI writes a huge chunk of new pages. It is part of the dead internet theory, the idea that real human content is vanishing. Even big tech bosses know there is a problem. Their smart AI search tools steal summaries from human writers, so people stop clicking on actual websites. That means real newsrooms lose money and go bust. Once human writers disappear, AI will start learning from its own low-quality content and create lots of mistakes and bad advice. To save the web, we need to click on original sources, check who wrote what, and support real human journalists.

Difficult words: chunk (a large piece or part of something), vanish (to disappear completely and suddenly), go bust (to lose all money and be forced to close a business).
