Dead internet theory is officially dead internet reality. Everyday folks message me asking me to visit places that simply don't exist from Japan focussed accounts and pages across Facebook, Instagram & Twitter. The posts typically include entirely fake AI photos of Japan (often without acknowledging it), to bots who post comments praising the photos blindly, with a sprinkling of human commenters in between. Be careful what you follow and click on these days folks. And know that most pages, their content and their follow counts are massively artificially inflated. On Abroad in Japan, across our socials we won’t be posting AI artwork now or anytime in the future. Japan has enough beautiful locations that the places can speak for themselves, without needing all this fake crap.
