We have the absurd situation where human-made websites are by default blocking AI training bots (see Cloudflare etc), but AI is creating websites solely to be fed to AI training bots.
So within a few years, most of the ingested website content will be AI.
Is it inevitable that AI companies are going to have start paying to access human content?
- krige 14d agoOh ho ho, no. Not to the human content creators. They'll lobby, they'll huff and puff and spend billions until the laws get changed in their favor. One day blocking claude scraper might just "suddenly" become illegal. Oh it won't be phrased as such. There will be excuses and misdirections, but the end result will be what the AI overlords desire.

- myzek 14d agoThat's the way to go. Anyone who publishes any of their work in the open web and who values what they are doing should do whatever possible to block the AI scrapers (which is often difficult or impossible, I know) until all that's left for them to feed on is their own garbage. Let the garbage-spewing machines choke on their own garbage
