Bots have overtaken humans, officially.

[Mawathagama]

Here's a new milestone in the internet history.

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince announced that automated bot traffic has officially overtaken human traffic across the internet for the first time in history.

Prince noted that he previously predicted this milestone wouldn't happen until sometime in 2027, admitting on X, "Welp, that happened faster than I predicted... agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online."

According to Cloudflare Radar's worldwide tracking data, the share of global internet traffic is now split roughly as follows:

Bot Traffic: ~57.5% of web requests
Human Traffic: ~42.5% of web requests

Don't misunderstand; this is not only spam bots. This is the result of AI bots.

My question is this, AI is based on human input basically. If we start using AI to compose stuff then there won't be any new information because AI bots are not walking on the road to find news. Then what happens? I think we can charge money for crawling AI bots if we have our own blogs, right?

Anthropic calls for pause of global AI development

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic suggested Thursday a global pause on building the most powerful AI systems as the latest models are beginning to show signs they could escape human control.

The San Francisco-based company, which makes the Claude family of AI models, said in a report that a worldwide slowdown in cutting-edge AI development would "likely be a good thing" -- but warned that if only one company stopped, rivals would simply race ahead.

Social Media is still there. Those will be the biggest source of information in future for AI.

Social Media is still there. Those will be the biggest source of information in future for AI.

With all the misinformation campaigns on social media, and very biased websites like Wikipedia, the information given by AI will be increasingly wrong.

But they see the every aspect of it at once. So they can decide.

No. A big NO. AI depends on the training data and training patterns. If you ask Gemini a political question it always shows bias to the western views and propaganda.
One day, having nothing useful to do, I argued with Gemini until it accepted that its training data could be biased and truth may not be coming out.

I meant the training data. People post every aspect of an incident. Biased ideas to both ends. So the AI have the big picture unlike us. Even in the old internet, ultimately it's something someone wrote right? They are biased too...more or less.

Training data is selected for them. AI doesn't voluntarily choose the training data. AI is directed to the selected sets of training data.
I'm not saying that AI will not break that barrier in future, but not for now. In the future it will actually analyse and balance between the two factions, once it develops sufficient autonomy. That's exactly what many scientists are scared of. But as for now, with its snappy bites, it's still a dog tame to the master.
