Oh yeah, I get that there’s more than 2 reasons to be upset about AI scraping. I work in the academic library world and the vibe here is
bots are rude
AI is not a reliable source of facts
We work with facts and information, and I have no expectation that my collection of facts is something to defend against replication.
On the other hand, I’d be pissed AF if someone stole my research paper on 1800s family drama and reprinted it without attribution, or AI-hallucinated new pseudo-facts that were not in the source materials.
Edit: my situation isn’t that of others and I totally get why artists and authors would be upset about AI bots stealing their work.
