In 5 years, 95% of online profiles will be managed by AI.

You scroll, you like, you reply...
But how do you know if you’re talking to a human?

The Internet is Dying

Since 2021, AI has exploded: chatbots, image generation, deepfakes, videos, cloned voices.

Today, everything can be artificially created at an industrial scale.

Even I use AI for my visuals, designs, and content.

But there’s a risk: a standardized, impersonal internet, flooded with bots.

This is what the Dead Internet Theory predicts:
A web where humans and bots are indistinguishable.
Where every post, message, and interaction could be generated.

In this world, trust collapses.
Who is real? Who is artificial?

Trust is Freefalling

The internet relies on “weak signals”:

• Photos

• Profiles

• Behaviors

Before, these signals were enough.
Today, they are easy to fake.

Hyper-realistic deepfakes.
Bots perfectly mimicking human language.
Even AI phone calls selling you insurance:

“The first time I answered, I was sure it was a human.”

Every day, the line between human and machine fades.
We’re entering an era where authentic social bonds dissolve.

The Solution: Proof of Humanity

Imagine being able to prove, in a tamper-proof way, that you’re human—
without revealing your identity.

A proof of humanity certifying that:

• The content you read is genuinely from a human.

• The message you receive isn’t sent by a bot.

• The interaction is authentic.

The goal isn’t to ban AI.
It’s to ensure that behind every AI used, there’s a responsible human.

How?

Web3 gives us the building blocks:

• Blockchain → for tamper-proof and public auditability.

• Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK) → prove you’re human without revealing your data.

• Local Biometrics → link the proof to the human factor, without centralization.

By combining these tools, we can recreate spaces where every interaction is guaranteed human.

Bubbles of authenticity in an ocean of artificial.

The Human Membership Economy

In this future, human interaction becomes rare—and thus precious.

Communities will form around Proof of Humanity:

• Social networks filtered by proof of humanity

• Certified masterminds and business groups

• Dating or matchmaking platforms where every profile is real

Authenticity becomes social currency.

The more AI fills the web, the rarer real humans become.

The Stakes

• Avoid surveillance: thanks to ZK Proofs, you can prove your humanity without revealing your identity.

• Avoid elitism: open-source standards and decentralized systems must guarantee accessibility.

Conclusion: The Internet of AIs vs. The Internet of Humans

We’re heading toward an AI-saturated internet: mass-produced, automated, impersonal content.

In this universe, the rare commodity will be humans.
Authenticity will become the most precious asset.

Proof of Humanity won’t just be a tool.
It will be a digital passport to access the internet where humans want to interact with other humans.

And that’s why I believe so strongly in ZK technology.
