Bots just officially outnumbered humans on the internet for the first time ever. Cloudflare’s latest report shows AI and agentic traffic has grown so fast its now the majority of online traffic. We crossed a line and most people didn’t even notice 😳 radar.cloudflare.com/traffic#b

The data is about requests, not individuals.

Since an agentic AI can make thousands of request in a very short time, we can assume that a typical agentic AI makes much more requests a day than a human, so the number of humans on the Internet would be still much bigger than AI agents.

It is sad to see that more than half of the traffic is due to bots, but let's don't blow it out of proportion.
