>uncle anon, tell us a story about the old internet!

there is now so many bots in 4chan and in reddit that their numbers are equal to human numbers

https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/dead-internet-web-bots-humans-b2530324.html

Humans now share the web equally with bots, according to a major new report. Report suggests that much of the content online is in fact automatically generated, and that the number of humans on the web is dwindling in comparison with bot accounts. Now a new report from cyber security company Imperva suggests that it is increasingly becoming true. Nearly half, 49.6 per cent, of all internet traffic came from bots last year, its "Bad Bot Report" indicates. In Ireland however, 71 per cent of internet traffic is bots.

>Some of that rise is the result of the adoption of generative artificial intelligence and large language models.

Companies that build those systems use bots scrape the internet and gather data that can then be used to train them. Some of those bots are becoming increasingly sophisticated, Imperva warned. More and more of them come from residential internet connections, which makes them look more legitimate. "Automated bots will soon surpass the proportion of internet traffic coming from humans, changing the way that organizations approach building and protecting their websites and applications," said Nanhi Singh, general manager for application security at Imperva. "As more AI-enabled tools are introduced, bots will become omnipresent."

The 'ick on 'eck spammer was doxxed.

Explain this one to me /g/. I copy and paste text from the search results into the search box, and Google tells me it doesn't match anything, even though the text came directly from Google search results. The fuck are these people smoking?
