A shocking 2024 cybersecurity study revealed that 51% of internet traffic is now bot-generated, not human. That's right. More than half of all clicks, posts, and engagement online comes from AI and bots, not real people. Both Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and OpenAI's Sam Altman have raised alarms about this phenomenon.
