Comment on A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers
Disillusionist@piefed.world 21 hours agoIs the only imaginable system for AI to exist one in which every website operator, or musician, artist, writer, etc has no say in how their data is used? Is it possible to have a more consensual arrangement?
As far as the question about ethics, there is a lot of ground to cover on that. A lot of it is being discussed. I’ll basically reiterate what I said that pertains to data rights. I believe they are pretty fundamental to human rights, for a lot of reasons. AI is killing open source, and claiming the whole of human experience for its own training purposes. I find that unethical.

The guy is talking about consulting as I understand. Yes, LLM is great for reading the documentation. That’s the purpose of LLM. Now people can use those libraries without spending ages reading through docs. That’s progress. I see it as a way to write more open source because it became simpler and less tedious.

He’s jumping ship because it’s destroying his ability to eke out a living. The problem isn’t a small one, what’s happening to him isn’t a limited case.
