"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

glue traps are a good solution to badly-behaved scrapers. just list a path in your robots.txt that slowly produces random text and links, all of which go to the same sort of page. if they respect robots.txt, they're fine. if they don't, they get stuck ingesting nonsense.
not a catch-all solution but a good tool.
