Zero surprised that Google is scanning Gmail emails for AI training. 😕

Lawsuit: Reddit caught Perplexity “red-handed” stealing data from Google results https://arstechni.ca/cJ4u #Perplexity.ai #googlesearch #webscraping #aiscraping #Perplexity #Policy #google #reddit #AI
Although the bland the "A.I." generated voice is detestable in the extreme the overall concept is mildly amusing if unoriginal, plus, there's a special treat for #DoctorWho fans in trying to fathom where the contents of the Laser Tracking Room were illicitly scraped from...

(⌐■-■) Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade website no-crawl directives
Scraping for AI training may or may not be legal. But the effort crawlers put into evading detection and blocking is a smoking gun, an admission this scraping is not fair.
Today, Meta's list of sites they've targeted for training their AI was leaked. We're on their list.
I do everything possible to block AI bots. I use Cloudflare AI bot protection. I block what I can. I don't know if they actually get to read anything, but they want to read us.

Habe den aktualisierten AGBs von #vinted widersprochen, da sie von Datenauswertung via #Ki #AIscraping sprechen, also Nutzerdaten damit verarbeiten möchten. Da der Account sowieso schon deaktiviert war, habe ich zusätzlich um Löschung gebeten. Nun kriege ich die Antwort, dass vinted ein legitimes Interesse hätte und laut Article 17 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) so ziemlich alle meine Daten weiterhin auswerten darf. Ich könne ja juristische Schritte gehen. (1/2)

You can build some pretty insane applications using just #LLMs, even if you don't really know what you're doing. But what separates a good AI app from a great AI app is one thing, and that's data.

Cloudflare wants Google to change its AI search crawling. Google likely won’t. https://arstechni.ca/eTm6 #ArtificialIntelligence #googleaioverviews #googlesearch #aiscraping #AItraining #cloudflare #aicrawler #googlebot #Google #Policy #google #AI
News Summary: Cloudflare Launches Pay Per Crawl for AI Scraping; Amazon Hits One Million Robots
You’ve heard, of course, of pay-per-view. And we are used to streaming revenue on a pay-per basis from the likes of Audible and Spotify. This week has seen the launch (admittedly at the moment in beta) of possibly the most transformative source of pay-per revenue…

A website appears to be scraping hashtags and creating AI articles, and then replying to the OG post
It stole one of my posts (https://oldfriends.live/@paul/114770093020700675) for its AI created article then spammed me from s00laiman@mastodon.social
It's doing it with #HashTagGames tags and other trending hashtags.
Edit: making links dead as it appears to serve malware now: www.trend247daily.com/articles
Article created from scraped post: www.trend247daily.com/article/mastering-the-art-of-the-productive-day-wake-up-look-busy-go-to-bed
See this thread above, unless the AI content spammer deletes its reply and breaks the thread.
I don't know where it is getting its content, from it's Mastodon Account ( s00laiman@mastodon.social ) account, rss, or the API. If it has an application I would hope staff@mastodon.social and moderation@mastodon.social would shut it down from scraping the API.
The web-scraping is aggressive not just to hoard training data, but also to keep other AI bots from doing the same.
They're not satisfied with stealing all your content, they also want exclusivity by any means necessary.
