But what legal recourse? chatGPT could be considered a search engine, and technically scraping public facing sites without a login is perfectly allowed and legal. The best you'd be able to do is a dmca request, I'm not sure how they'd comply with that though. I've seen dmca requests in Google, when someone's work is being offered free without their permission. I'm guessing this would be the same sort of situation.

I wonder if they can selectively block or remove specific content from the LLM. Personally I think it's a fools folly to even try.

AI chat is the new interface to search, I use ai powered search engines for 90 percent of searches. sometimes I still go to the source website so there's still a chance of search engines bringing revenue.

Personally I think there should be a way for them to reward sites in a medium like program where views or uses as a resource are points for a share of the revenue for the month or something.
