SEO firm Graphite: More Articles Are Now Created by AI Than Humans: https://graphite.io/five-percent/more-articles-are-now-created-by-ai-than-humans

• According to Graphite's analysis of 65,000 URLs that were posted online between 2020 and 2025, the percentage of AI-generated articles rose sharply after ChatGPT's launch in 2023.
• The percentage of AI-generated articles in this data set briefly surpassed human-written articles in November 2024, but the two have stayed roughly equal since.

By the numbers: Content farms may also be learning that AI-generated content isn't prioritized by search engines and chatbot responses, according to a second report from Graphite.

• Graphite found that 86% of articles ranking in Google Search were written by humans, and 14% were generated by AI.
• The pattern held across chatbots, too. 82% of articles cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity were written by humans, and only 18% were AI-generated, according to Graphite's research.
• When AI-generated articles do appear in Google Search, they tend to rank lower than human-written articles.
