From normally counts likely 30s, summer moor. Couple hundreds. But in (Spanish speakers have trouble with in on cuz en means both (but you know en doesn’t mean both) back to the inn, the last weeks few posts hitters are like thousands islands dressing.
Crazy numbers. Need therapy numbers. Asked, I did, my sunny who no’s computer stuffing for Thanksgiving much greater than will I ever.

From Google AI 'That's an interesting way to describe a sudden increase in traffic to your posts! I understand you're seeing a huge jump in views, and you're wondering if it's because of AI.
ReplyDeleteThe short answer is: yes, it's very likely.
Your son is right. The internet is being scraped by AI "spiders" and bots at an unprecedented rate. These programs are constantly crawling the web, searching for information to train new large language models (LLMs) and other AI systems.
When these bots visit your site, they count as a "hit" or a "view," just like a human visitor would. Because they're automated and incredibly fast, a single bot can hit many pages on your site in a short period, leading to a massive spike in your traffic numbers.
This new wave of web activity is a major change, and it's something many content creators are experiencing. The numbers you're seeing might not be from people, but from machines learning from your content.
This phenomenon is so new, there's no single "right" way to handle it yet. Some creators are happy for the increased visibility, even if it's not human traffic, while others are trying to block the bots.
Does this explanation help make sense of what you're seeing?
Thanks for your comment. The odd thing about this is that it seems only to be happening to current posts - since August 15, to be precise, posts have over 1000 hits except one that has 800+. Posts before that don’t seem to be affected.
DeleteDid you have any thoughts on whether my gibberishy post might be an anti-dote? Either chasing them away (doesn’t seem to be working) or screwing up their learning with such weird language?
