Comment on A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 21 hours agoI’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.

Still ignorant, antisocial and a little big bootlickish.

Do you think that using ad hominem instead of responding to a person’s point makes you enlightened, pro-social and independent?
It makes you look like another toxic Internet person, indistinguishable from the FUD bots that swarm social media.

What was his point? He just repeated the same position that in my opinion is ignorant and antisocial. From the beginning he didn’t say anything beyond “AI companies can take any data they want” and avoided many direct questions. There’s nothing to respond to.
