- donmcronald 4y agoThose posts probably got you some value even if it wasn’t direct compensation. What value is there now if some AI is going to suck up all your posts and regurgitate them without giving you proper attribution or giving you attribution for something with the context changed just enough to make you look less knowledgeable? I view it as a form of plagiarism. Search at least has mutual benefit. AI only benefits the owner of the AI.
