I thought the issue people have with AI scrapers is the ones that DDoS sites to scrape everything for training purposes, rather than the ones that interactively query specific content to support an active conversation?

"Just" queries for hundred thousand people (if you happened to be good source for that bit of knowledge) that don't bring actual people to your site is also a problem

- tekacs 3mo agoIf you read the article, you'll notice that they're explicitly making sure to block the ones that interactively query specific content too.
