Curious trend: are AI tools becoming website traffic sources?

Slightly outside the usual topic here, but curious whether people working in ML are thinking about how systems like ChatGPT or Perplexity may shift web discovery over time. It feels like an interesting downstream effect of AI adoption that isn’t talked about much.I started monitoring referral traffic through Zen Reports after noticing visits coming from AI tools because I wanted to understand whether this trend is meaningful yet or still experimental.

Technical SEO folks: how are you tracking LLM referral traffic?

Curious how technical SEO people here are handling AI referral tracking right now. Everyone seems to be discussing LLM SEO, optimizing content for citations inside ChatGPT or Perplexity, and the changing search landscape, but I rarely see practical discussions around measurement and attribution. Are people building custom workflows already or mostly experimenting?I started monitoring this more closely after noticing unexpected referral sessions from AI tools and ended up using Zen Reports because manually segmenting everything inside GA4 got frustrating pretty quickly. Curious whether anyone here has cleaner setups or better methodologies for tracking this.

Anyone tracking ChatGPT traffic to blogs yet?

Curious whether bloggers here are starting to see meaningful traffic coming from ChatGPT or Perplexity recommendations. I noticed some unexpected referral sessions recently and it made me realize we might be underestimating how quickly people are starting to discover content through AI tools instead of traditional search. At first I assumed it was random noise, but the trend kept showing up often enough to make me curious.I started paying closer attention and ended up using Zen Reports because manually filtering AI traffic inside GA4 every time became repetitive and honestly pretty annoying. Curious if other bloggers here are seeing this too and whether the engagement quality feels different from Google traffic.
