I truly believe that unless it's stopped, AI is eventually going to kill the internet.

And that's not hyperbole, as it's absolutely nuts out there, with AI bots taking up an ever-increasing slice of total online traffic and bandwidth.

I agree. It's a bad cycle, also buying up all the available hardware they can get their hands on. Plus they are running through their investor money and the subscription plans are subsidized in order to grow. Will the cost eventually match the revenue/user prices? I still have my doubts about it.

The system limits them at 1000 now, a few moments later you will see that number drop because it will not allow more than a 1000 connections from bots. So they basically have to get into cue at this point.
