What are you going to do with it? If you publish it, the law currently allows Google to hoover it up and there's nothing you can do about it.

Why publish? If people aren't going to click into it anyway and read it, why not just do it and write it up for yourself? I've been doing this for years (in a way, haven't quite worked writing it up into that) but I explore on my own constantly and try things just with me and my fiance. I still hope to share it someday but this person is right. You don't _have_ to do anything with it once you've done it. You can just work on a project and enjoy the process and then do nothing.

In that instance, google loses value over time because less and less valuable content is published because there's no point because people may read it as an AI summary but probably aren't going to share their own findings or discuss with you anyway.
