Wikipedia
Monthly Wikipedia figures since 2015: edits and editors (humans against bots, editors grouped by how much they edit), bytes added, readership, and pageviews for articles on AI labs, models, tools and concepts, with non-AI controls. Human edits and human pageviews stay near flat; the clear falls are in readers counted as unique devices and in the core group of editors who make 100+ edits a month.
