I really can't tell for sure (new user posting a ridiculously hypocritical corporate message on a Sunday) but if GP actually works for OpenAI the lack of self-awareness is seriously striking

[singpolyma3]

How?

[oblio]

Because OpenAI built their entire business around shamelessly scraping anything that had bits on it.

[singpolyma3]

Maybe. But scraping isn't abuse. Seems a bit different?

Quoting the OP

That implies that OpenAI (or at least this employee) considers scraping abuse.

[PunchyHamster]

Given that the scraping doesn't do any rate limiting and pisses on robots.txt, yes it is abuse

[singpolyma3]

Is there any evidence OpenAI has been ignoring robots.txt for scraping purposes? AFAIK the main sources of that traffic are still unknown.

The top comment categorized scraping as abuse ("abuse such as [...] scraping") - that's precisely why some accuse its author of lack of self awareness.
