      Some people mistakenly think it’ll poison AI scraping. It’ll take about 2 seconds to filter that out of a dataset.

        I don’t think they believe it will poison it, I think they believe they’ll be able to collectively sue when it’s discovered their content has been used.

        Not sure if that’ll turn out to be a pipe dream as well, but it’s got a better shot than poisoning.
