""I find the sheer speed of the AI takeover of the web quite staggering. After decades of humans shaping it, a significant portion of the internet has become defined by AI in just three years.""
""As of May 2025, more than a third of all new websites were AI-generated or AI-assisted at 35.3%. That includes 17.6% of all newly published websites being entirely generated by AI.""
A study by Stanford University, Imperial College London, and the Internet Archive reveals that as of May 2025, 35.3% of new websites are AI-generated or AI-assisted. This includes 17.6% of websites entirely created by AI. The findings align with reports indicating that nearly a third of internet traffic comes from bots, and automated traffic surpassed human traffic in 2024. Researchers express concern over the rapid transformation of the internet, noting that AI has significantly influenced the digital landscape in just three years.
