IoT traffic and streaming traffic is "invisible" to normal humans.

Your smart thermometer isn't making Reddit posts trying to sound like a human who's just concerned that the bedroom is a bit too warm.

There're human-to-human (H2H), human-to-machine (H2M) or vice versa, and machine-to-machine (M2M) data communication.

If you perform simple extrapolation, the M2M data only surpass the others around 2029.

Coincidently, in the original timeline of Transformer movie, 2029 is the year that the Resistance, led by John Connor, destroyed Skynet and ended the war against the machines.

It's hyperbole, click bait.

How is Netflix not 'human traffic'?

Content providers will not agree with this decision, because machine browsing = no ads. Until that gets resolved, I don’t see incentives to align, since any free search requires ads for continuous business.

This notion isn't just unrealistic, but extremely dangerous. If we accept "machine bad, human good" line of thinking, the only logical conclusion is that we'll have to verify our biometric every time we'd like to access the internet. Like the UK age verification but 100x worse.

Are you saying that high quality human-curated content will be rare and more appreciated in the future compared to endless cheap slop? Can't say I am sad, in contrary

That's very interesting question I'm ponder about. If all content is AI generated where innovation will come from? Maybe we should differentiates AI assisted content from AI garbage content.

I think that >in the future< this will be a non problem as there is reality itself that is a much better validator for behavior then human text.

We already see this with synthetic training data that basically uses logic in form of math and code as constraint.

social media was raw sewage even before AI, and WWW was 90% SEO spam generated by third worlders for $2 a day.

It already is a problem and maybe unpopular opinion but... That's a good thing. The LLM collapse can't possibly come soon enough. In principle, LLMs can be a good thing but they can't overcome human nature - laziness and the unstoppable desire to take the shortest path. It's those two things that have turned the internet into the absolute dump it is today. Not to mention the bullshitter economy, as I like to call it and everything that comes with it. And all things considered, society does need some reset at this point, the AI bubble might be a good place to kick things off.

Why should they care about new content? Game over already. Just keep regurgitating the same slop to the masses. Even before ai it was like this. How many 2 minute pop songs use the same chord structure? Just keep selling the same thing slightly permutated (or not) from the last. That's capitalism, baby. This isn't a science.

> The internet becoming majority bot content basically guarantees this becomes a real problem for the next generation of models.

Only if you assume that people who train models are stupid.

That's silly. I can make slop without worrying about profit, too.
