'Bots have now passed human traffic online,' Cloudflare boss laments (tomshardware.com) AI

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince says “agentic” AI bots have, for the first time, surpassed human traffic in terms of HTTP requests, with Cloudflare data showing a 57.5% bot vs 42.5% human split as of early June 2026. The article notes this differs from traditional web crawlers and fraud-abuse bots, and that the crossover is based on request volume rather than total time spent online, which Cloudflare says still favors humans.
