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.
Also the inability to opt your content out of being used for AI training by is a major issue for individuals.
Many AI companies open source their models, their isn’t only openai.
So the problem here isn’t hostile AI but capitalism.
To be fair, the AI community notes that capitalist interests will drive earlier releases of dangerous AI products.

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