Real human Internet traffic has been officially surpassed by AI ecological traffic.

Cloudflare officially announced this news.

In just over 3 years since the explosion of ChatGPT in 2023, although the economic growth model brought by AI is still unclear, whether it is technological changes, social impact, business model innovation, the birth of new giants, explosion of data, hundreds of millions of agents, exponential growth of agentic network traffic, all of this has happened in just over 3 years in human history!

Incredible!

We have been paying attention to the technological changes and development route sustainability of AI itself, but human society and human behavior, as well as the civilization model established on it, have not actually undergone huge changes.

Therefore, even if the development of AI stops today in June 2026, human society will need enough time and resources to fully apply it in all walks of life.

The scary thing is that the scaling law is still in effect.

AI computing power centers that exceed the power generation of a city are being built one after another.

Humanity cannot go back.

It has been three years on earth, but AI has completed a two-hundred-year journey!

I have to sigh and record this moment.
