      If you want quality data, then don’t kill them

      That is like telling cancer that if it wants to live it shouldn’t kill the host.

      You’re asking a lot from people without the ability to think about anything else than themselves

      If it gets wrong enough, people will stop using it. So it would be in the interests of AI companies to pay for good sources of data.

      Or at least you’d hope that. In actual fact they’ll be thinking: let’s keep stealing because most people don’t know or care whether what the AI says is true. Besides, they can make money by turning it into a tool for disseminating the views of those who can pay the most.

      Interestingly, I’m not seeing your quoted content when I look at this article. I see a three-paragraph-long article that says in a nutshell “people don’t visit source sites as much now that AI summarizes the contents for them.” (Ironic that I am manually summarizing it like that).

      Perhaps it’s some kind of paywall blocking me from seeing the rest? I don’t see any popup telling me that, but I’ve got a lot of adblockers that might be stopping that from appearing. I’m not going to disable adblockers just to see whether this is paywalled, given how incredibly intrusive and annoying ads are these days.

      Gee, I wonder why people prefer AI.
