Y'all probably know that my views on AI are somewhat nuanced. I’m not 100% “AI BAD!!!” but I’m also hesitant to rely on AI for a lot of things, and generally do not care for generative AI or any situation where you need AI to “reason” on things.| beesbuzz.biz

They seem to ignore the much larger impact of what the AI scrapers are doing: not only do those take massive amounts of energy and bandwidth to run, but they’re impacting every single website operator on the planet by increasing their server requirements and bandwidth utilizatoin as well.
