From my perspective as a small blogger, the general sentiment is yes, web scraping was a thing before the AI boom, but now it is an even bigger and far more careless thing. Just me two cents, though, mostly formed from chatting with other small bloggers about it. I suppose it could be argued that the size of the vehicle does not matter to the roadkill; they still get run over. But it honestly feels like the various AI platforms suddenly made web scraping much, much more fashionable.
