The irony of it all is SO making deals for AI to scrape their site for machine learning but in doing so more people are using chatgpt and copilot more because it's easier and just as accurate. AI/ML is really going to destroy these websites and yet it's the websites signing off on their own death sentences.

I think they see the writing on the wall and they're trying to make a buck while they still can.

What I'm still not sure of is this... When these websites die will the LLMs stagnate with no new data to use for training or will they somehow keep up with new technology and eliminate the need for certain basic questions that would originally have required human input?

The ideal result? LLMs are just early versions of much better things that come later.

The unlikely result: we develop a separate human curated internet somewhere, complete with verification that a human wrote every bit. Basically verifiable digital id and signing on everything. Maybe.

The probable result: the internet turns to shit as AIs are trained on content created by AIs.

It’s called selling out. I doubt they have any illusions about the future of these platforms, they just don’t care as long as they can cash out.

Do they actually publish this data?

Down voted. If you're just going to post a screenshot, you must include a link to the source. This is a link sharing platform.

I thought I was going to be rickrolled but this is better.

Now that's just a signal for training reinforcement

Yeah. When I need additional insights on a difficult technical configuration, it's nice to be able to speak to an artificial insufferable dipshit, rather than a real human insufferable dipshit.

The AI ones continue helping me even after I explain to them how they come across to real humans. (I do my best not to mention it to the insufferable Human dipshits, of course.)

Isn’t this when Safari and Firefox started blocking third party trackers by default?

That wouldn't stop page views from being counted.
