Comment on A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers

Ok, so you think it’s ok for big companies to break the laws you don’t like, cool. I’m sure those big companies will not sue you when you infringe on some of their laws you don’t like.
And I like the way you just ignored the two other issues I mentioned. Are you fine with AI bots slowing sites like Codeberg to a crawl? Are you fine with AI companies using personal data without consent?

I’m fine with companies using any freely available data.

I’m also fine with them using data they can get for free like, I don’t know, weather data they collect themselves?
Data hosted by private individuals and open source projects is not free. Someone has to pay for hosting and AI companies sucking data with army of bots is elevating the cost of hosting beyond the means of those people/projects. They are shifting the costs of providing the “free” data on the community while keeping all the profits.
Private data used without consent is also not free. It’s valuable, protected data and AI companies are simply stealing it. Do you consider stolen things free?
I see your attitude is “they don’t hurt me personally and I don’t care what they do to other people”. It’s either ignorant or straight antisocial. Also a bit bootlickish.

Data is available therefore it is… well, available. You don’t want to pay to host it? Don’t then. LLM companies don’t hack your servers. They read only the data that you have provided volunterely.
