Yes true, and this is somehow we are doing it. However, integrity is necessary but not sufficient, the chain proves nothing was changed It doesnt prove the record was accurate

I dont think so, You dont need independent proof until you are in court, Perplexity and Amazon both had logs, neither could prove who was behind thoses actions or who authorized what!

I suspect the market won't split into "AI companies" and "non-AI companies". It will split into companies that measure outcomes versus companies that mandate tools.

I've worked at places that mandated a particular editor, programming language, or methodology. Those mandates were rarely the reason people joined. The healthier organizations tended to define the outcome they wanted and let engineers choose the tools, provided the results justified the choice.

I wouldn't be surprised if AI ends up following the same pattern.

It depends on what you mean by "privacy."There are at least three separate concerns: Does the client send telemetry? Does it sync your collections or API definitions to a cloud service? Do your API requests transit through a third-party server, or are they sent directly from your machine?

Those matter much more than whether the client is Postman, Thunder Client, or something else.

I wonder if "traffic" is becoming the wrong metric. A human visit has always implied someone consuming the content. An AI crawler may never generate a pageview from a human, yet it can still become the mechanism by which someone discovers your work later through an assistant.

In that world, machine visits aren't necessarily noise, they're another distribution channel.
