Could this be the ramifications of AI though? (edit: I mean, in light of StackOverflow also changing their policies recently)
Not only are the LLMs like GPT effectively doing scraping like never before, without any legal oversight, AI is also automating and causing much more pressure on those social sites.
The future is bleak, LLMs are going to destroy what little "Far West" we still had and turn all the open sites into even more walled gardens.
So far AI is just creating bullshit art, and destroying the open internet.
- GaggiX 3y agoAIs, in particular LLM models, are not scraping the internet, that's done by traditional software.
- AltruisticGapHN 3y agoOh come on. You know what I mean. Companies like OpenAI are basically appropriating value created by others by feeding the so called "public" data into their LLMs. Therefore stealing content on a massive scale. You and I are not getting rewarded a single cent for all the time we spent on StackOverflow, or Reddit, or here on HN etc. I´m looking at the big picture here. So what I was trying to say is I can see how more and more social sites and services that have open APIs are going to rethink how they share their data seeing as all the value is being sucked dry out of them AND then repurposed as a new, privately owned product.
- Xarodon 3y ago> doing scraping without any legal oversight What is this supposed to mean? What role do you think lawyers play in scraping the internet?
