AI Has Read My Blog 80,000 Times
When you have been blogging for a long time, numbers become familiar.
Visitor counts, page views, likes, comments.
At some point, you stop getting too excited about every number. If they go up, you feel grateful. If they go down, you simply write another post.
But recently, I came across a number in Naver Mate that felt different.
80,000 citations.
At first, I didn’t fully understand what it meant.
Then I learned that it represented the number of times my blog posts had been referenced by AI Briefing, Naver’s AI-powered answer system.
Eighty thousand times.
The number felt strangely meaningful.
It wasn’t the number of people who had read my writing.
It was the number of times AI had read it.
In the past, blog posts were written only for people.
Now, AI reads them too.
And sometimes, it uses those posts to help answer someone else’s question.
The world has changed more than I realized.
The truth is, I am not an expert in any particular field.
I write about military graduation ceremonies.
I share my experiences with Naver AdPost earnings.
I record thoughts from early morning walks.
I explain how to buy a Hi-Pass device or manage everyday tasks.
Most of my posts are simply answers to questions I once had myself.
Yet those ordinary experiences have become useful references for AI.
Looking at the number 80,000, I realized something important.
A valuable post is not necessarily a complicated one.
It is often a sincere post that answers a real question.
A post based on firsthand experience.
A post written to help someone else.
Those are the kinds of posts that people trust—and apparently, AI trusts them too.
According to Naver Mate, my cumulative citation count has now reached 80,000, with 52,000 citations recorded in June alone.
For me, that number represents more than statistics.
It represents years of writing, observing, documenting, and sharing.
Perhaps blogging is entering a new era.
In the past, blogs were personal journals for human readers.
Today, they are becoming knowledge sources for both humans and AI.
Page views still matter.
Reader engagement still matters.
But now there is another measure of value:
“Is this post useful enough to be referenced?”
That question may become increasingly important in the future.
Still, one thing remains unchanged.
The people who continue to write.
The people who keep documenting their experiences.
The people who share what they have learned.
Their words will continue to find readers—whether those readers are human, AI, or both.
And so, today, I publish another post.
Hoping it helps someone.
And knowing that somewhere, an AI might be reading it too.
