"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.

I admire the optimism to see it this way and not "it's still not worth it to them to bother blacklisting the domain"
I wonder too, why they didn't, because they're happily crawling domains that never had anything but junk on them. To me, that suggests they have no idea they're trapped. Not at crawling time at least.
