Are AI Bots Taking Over the Internet? Elon Musk Spark Conversation with Powerful Question

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has reignited debate on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by posing a provocative question: ‘How many real people are still on the internet?’ His query arose from comments made by crypto influencer Mario Nawfal, who cited a report by Singapore’s The Straits Times stating that AI-powered bots are taking over the internet in 2024. 🎧 This statement triggered significant discussion within the cryptocurrency community and beyond. The reality is even more startling: AI bots now account for over half of all web traffic! These aren’t just automated programs; many are advanced AI models with real consequences. They’re used for scalping tickets, exploiting travel sites, hijacking social media accounts, and spreading misinformation online.
