AI agents have overtaken humans as the biggest source of web traffic, according to a16z. The Andreessen Horowitz venture firm says automated agents now account for the majority of traffic online, a claim Cointelegraph amplified in a post on X.
Human bylines are losing ground too. Per a16z, AI agents write more than half of the articles published online.
Code is no exception. The firm says most production code is now generated by AI agents.
