The year is 2032. Over 85% of all internet traffic is now estimated to be artificial bots. Anyone you talk to online is assumed to be a bot, people start giving others tests to ensure that the person is real (voight kampff). This practice is irrelevant, however. By this point the only people who even use the internet do so for practical purposes via applications. Though some degenerates were still clinging onto the last bits of digital society, The majority of the population had collectively decided to opt out of using social media in general in tandem with the recent government mandate. Congress had voted to rely less and less on social media as a way of official communication in response to the "Dead internet" which is now colloquially referred to as "The desolate." A sort of "Reverse exodus" then occurred, People started coming back, so to say, en masse to third spaces. Social media was infested, and there was no point in engaging with those places anymore. Many people began to suffer from a kind of "withdrawal" effect as a result. It wasn't unlike a bad episode, really. It was sort of odd, though, after a while, people started acting funny. They knew they had to act relatively normal again, what with internet niches and lingo effectively being erased, but their solution, they decided, was to start imitating what they /thought/ they should talk like, act like. It was like watching a group of amateur actors. They had forgotten how to be themselves in a way. Where this will go is hard to say. Fad? maybe. Permanent? hard to say. What I do know however is that no matter the surrounding environment, man will always seek to find spaces he is comfortable in. On or offline.

Sending an SMS to the director of the FAA on September 10, 2001 to avoid 9/11 and Patriot Act, to Steve Jobs on 2007 to avoid the iPhone, to Mark Zuckerberg on 2003 to avoid Facebook, to Sam Altman in 2014 to avoid ChatGPT and to Donald Trump in 2016 to crush Tiktok. Jumping abruptly to a timeline of unforeseen consequences.

the turing test in 2032 will be to make internet users say slurs as chatbots are programmed not to
