I and many others posted it for reading by other people, many of us for a long time before this AI boom. Even with scrapers at least the eventual target was a human, all good.

This is different, and everyone pretending it is not, is being intentionally ignorant or genuinely ignorant, neither good. I did not give so much to the public internet for the benefit of commercial AI models, simple as that. This breaks the relationship I had with the public internet, and like many others I will change my behaviour online to suit.

Maybe my tune will change once there's a commercial collapse and the only remaining models are open source, free for all to use. But even then it would be begrudgingly, my thoughts parading as some model's abilities doesn't sit right.

This captures perfectly what I was trying to say. Thanks
