Original caption

Bots just passed humans online For the first time, automated traffic has reportedly surpassed human traffic on the internet. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said agentic AI traffic is growing faster than expected. These are AI systems that browse websites, pull information, and complete tasks without a person clicking every page. The shift matters because AI agents can visit far more pages than a human would for the same task. That changes how websites measure traffic, protect content, and make money. The internet is becoming a place where machines may be the main visitors. Is this the beginning of a new web? #ai
