In my opinion, Yeah, I’m seeing it too. A lot of the “AI traffic” stuff looks like noise until you dig into logs and then it’s just weird crawlers, junk referrals, or some tool pretending it found something meaningful. Kind of feels like The part that annoys me is exactly what you said — the pages that actually matter don’t move, but some random post gets sniffed by whatever and suddenly it’s a thing. I’m not putting much stock in the analytics labels anymore unless I can tie it to real visits or some actual action. Half the time it feels like people are just renaming old bot junk and calling it AI because it sounds smarter.
