    Personally I could believe most of the internet is bot activity by now, but what I don't believe is that most of the internet that humans actually interact with is bots. Though that number is certainly rising.

    Same. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. However, most top Google results are those garbage sites that are definitely not written by humans. I wonder if search will die soon as bots begin to dominate SEO (more than they already do). The search paradigm will definitely have to change.
