Which usually means subscriptions to LLMs.But so far in 2025, 46% of the surveyed companies have thrown out their AI proofs-of-concept and 42% have abandoned most of their AI initiatives — complete failure. The abandonment rate in 2024 was 17%.</p>

This increase is not coming from human readers, but largely from automated programs that scrape the Wikimedia Commons image catalog of openly licensed images to feed images to Al models. Our infrastructure is built to sustain sudden traffic spikes from humans during high-interest events, but the amount of traffic generated by scraper bots is unprecedented and presents growing risks and costs.</p><p>The graph below shows that the base bandwidth demand for multimedia content has been growing steadily since early 2024 — and there's no sign of this slowing down. This increase in baseline usage means that we have less room to accommodate exceptional events when a traffic surge might occur: a significant amount of our time and resources go into responding to non-human traffic. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Alt4you" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alt4you</span></a></p>
