@foxbutt @IceWolf Right, because an open internet means that you don't really get to decide what accesses your content: my screen reader, someone on an ebook reader from eight years ago, a smart TV, or a fridge. Abusive bots are a problem, and need to be stopped. But that's to save the server resources, rather than to limit content use. Because if you limit AI ability to scrape your content, you will always lock me out. The entire fediverse is wonderful for AI! It's got an open AI that my specialized accessibility client can access, and so can any AI training tool. To block the AI, you'd have to take away the API, or put up something that would also block other human and automated uses of it as well.
