Banning GPTBot doesnt make any harm to them. What with Bard though? Does he use Google Bot or his own web crawler?

Ohhh these companies don’t like their data collected but have zero issue collecting ours and selling it to whoever?

Get fucked, I hope more bots spring up and start collecting their shit

I mean, I’m no fan of these companies and their data collection either which also likely led to Trump being in power for 4 years.

At the same time, I’m not a fan of the AI companies taking all this data either. They’re not doing good for good either. They’re money hungry monsters too.

To be fair, the AI community notes that capitalist interests will drive earlier releases of dangerous AI products.

Also the inability to opt your content out of being used for AI training by is a major issue for individuals.

Oh they’ll multiply like spiders.

The internet behaves like an organic ecosystem with countless arms races between crypsis and detection, pursuit and evasion, encryption and crack.

And the beautiful thing is we get the technology as it leaks so shortly after Amazon protects its data from the scrapers, we protect our data from Amazon.
