The article strikes me as quite uncharitable to characterize it as "a lie". I doubt this CEO just sat down and calculated he was going to write lies. While it's fine to call out he's wrong per his own fuller data set, it's quite a different thing than calling the person out as a "liar" in a rage-bait fashion. | ||

The author is also not very good at interpreting data himself. He claims "the AI number is padded by counting Googlebot twice" and links to [1], but there is nothing on that page that could support that assertion. It looks like he misinterpreted this part: "Googlebot crawls for both search indexing and AI training and is included as a separate entry due to its crawl volume" (Googlebot was NOT included in the "AI bot" count, so it was not counted twice.) | ||
