Complaining that data available on the public internet is being read seems very strange. Whatever happened to "Information wants to be free" or "The Net Interprets Censorship As Damage and Routes Around It."
How does that account for all the things that change in the world, but in ways only humans can observe?
How can AI discover that a beloved tourist destination has turned to crap, or that the best vacuum cleaner of 2022 has a new challenger, or that German tipping culture is shifting, or that the café down the road has great banana bread but is a little loud on Saturdays?
Generative AI still relies on the work of the creators whose livelihood it threatens for its training data. It still relies on someone else experiencing the real world, and describing it for them. It just denies them their audience or the fruit of their labour.
Someone here put it nicely: AI companies are eating their seed corn.
