We are living in the reality of the "dead internet theory," and generative AI is accelerating it. If you are a creative professional (writer, artist, filmmaker, designer, or educator) you are on the front lines of this shift. How do you survive, or maybe even thrive, in a digital landscape increasingly flooded with AI-generated noise? Each week, Human Internet Theory cuts through the hype to bring you the essential AI news that actually matters to your work and your future. Jen analyzes the headlines and what they mean for you as a human creator. From the latest copyright battles and platform policy changes to new creative tools (and which ones are actually worth your time), Jen covers the intersection of technology, creativity, and the fight to keep the internet human. AI can be a useful tool in specific circumstances, but it cannot replace human creativity. Join host Jen deHaan for commentary and insights... and the reality of creatives navigating the age of AI.
