I mean if anything with AI data and main sources are becoming the actual precious resource again.

So i'd expect an uptick in bots as everyone races to try and compete with google on data hoarding

As I can see, there is already a heavy wave of new AI/startup/VC etc. data companies that goes beyond the data consumption expectations of websites in the pre-AI era.

However, I see the development of new bot types that tackle security in more aggressive ways. It's not just simple SQL injection as it was before, but more sophisticated and custom bots that not only request but also push a lot.

Or just a couple of days ago, I found a new type of bot that "brute-forces" website folder structure. ~205,000 requests in a couple of days.

These new bots are probably not directly the work of AI, but they seem to be a consequence of it.
