My main learning is that character.ai is consistently in the top four, along with ChatGPT (always #1) and Claude. I didn't even know it was in the running.

I would have guessed that it's a minority, but less than 5% of web traffic being explicitly human-initiated is still a somewhat shocking statistic.

Naive question maybe: do these AI companies crawl/ingest video/audio yet ? if yes, is that included in the stats ?

Does crawl-to-refer mean that for every 40k pages ClaudeBot crawls, only 1 outbound link is clicked from it?

Claude has an order of magnitude fewer users on its web product while training models that are just as large and advanced as OpenAI, so this makes sense.

Yes, that's exactly what it means.

These AI companies popping up like mushrooms remind me of the .com bubble in the early 2000s.

We are now yet another month closer to the AI bubble collapsing.
I am certain that Cloudflare will not be affected by an AI crash or AI winter at all.
