Title: The Quiet Collapse of Surveys: Fewer Humans (and More AI Agents) Are
Answering Survey Questions

Link: https://slashdot.org/story/25/05/20/1030208/t...

Survey response rates have collapsed from 30-50% in the 1970s to as low as 5%
today, while AI agents now account for an estimated 20% of survey responses,
according to a new analysis. The UK's Office for National Statistics has seen
response rates drop from 40% to 13%, with some labor market questions
receiving only five human responses. The U.S. Current Population Survey hit a
record low 12.7% response rate, down from 50% historically.
