1. Concept of Dead Internet  
The “Dead Internet Theory” suggests that much of online social activity is artificial, manipulating users and fostering an echo chamber. This theory has gained momentum with the rise of AI technologies.

2. Launch of SocialAI  
Michael Sayman, a former product lead at Google, has launched SocialAI, an app designed to provide a supportive environment for users seeking connection and feedback. The app aims to help those who feel isolated by offering a space for reflection and interaction with AI-powered followers.

3. Unique User Experience  
Users can select the types of AI followers they want, such as “supporters” or “skeptics,” allowing for varied interactions. Sayman hopes this tool can help users feel heard and foster a sense of community amidst feelings of loneliness.
