[ SLANG ][ AI ][ SOCIAL MEDIA ]
The growing difficulty of telling whether an account, comment, or piece of engagement online came from a real person or an automated system, as bots become more conversationally convincing.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I genuinely couldn't tell if that reply was a bot or a person, full human-bot blur these days."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named directly within social media research describing the observed erosion of reliable human/bot distinction cues, distinct from Dead Internet Theory by describing a practical detection problem rather than a totalizing claim about the whole internet.
