| human vs. bot is all the difference: - a human will be an organic visitor that can be advertised to. A bot is useless - A human can one day be hired for their skills. An AI will always be in control of some other corporate entity. - volume and speed is a factor. It's the buffet metaphor, "all you can eat" only works as long as it's a reasonable amount for a human to eat in a meal. Meanwhile, a bot will in fact "eat it all" and everyone loses. - Lastly, commercial value applies to humans and bots. Even as a human I cannot simply rehost an article on my own site, especially if I pretend I read it. I might get away with it if it's just some simple blog, but if I'm pointing to patreons and running ads, I'll be in just as much trouble as a bot. > I really don't see a difference between this and someone reading a bunch of books/articles/blog posts/tech notes/etc etc and becoming a profficient writer themselves tangential, but I should note that you in fact cannot just apply/implement everything you read. That's the entire reason or the copyright system. Always read the license or try to find a patent before doing anything commercially. |
