A recent study from Pew Research found that over one-third of webpages published since ChatGPT's launch show signs of being written or substantially edited by AI. The research analyzed nearly half a million English-language webpages using AI detection technology, filtering out older pages to focus only on those created after ChatGPT's release. This matters because it indicates that a significant portion of newly published web content is now AI-generated, which comes at a time when bot web traffic has already begun to exceed human web traffic. The study also found that commercial websites showed AI authorship at roughly 10 times the rate of educational and government domains.
