Those instructions seem to be for plugins, not scraping training data.

In any case, OpenAI should inspect every website's terms of use before ingesting it in their training data. They shouldn't be exempted from this work. We shouldn't have to conform to their methods, there are laws and systems in place for that. Expensive, yes.

It should be take permission first instead of this obscenity

No way. I want my AI trained on everything, not just pages that "opted in." If you don't want AI learning from your work, then don't publish it.

If we were talking about free, open-source AIs available to everyone (ironically, what OpenAI set out to become), I'd be inclined to agree with you. However, we're talking about commercialised AIs that scrape your intellectual property and turn it into a money printing machine without paying you a dime.

Agree, search engines should be banned.

I'm publishing my work for humans to solve problems, not for AI startups to profit from.

If you want to use my work, credit me.

That is profoundly egoistical. Your personal wants do not trample over the wants and rights of everyone else.

> I want my AI trained on everything

"your" AI ?

> If you don't want AI learning from your work, then don't publish it.

If you don't want me stealing and reusing your licensed open source code don't make it public

If you don't want me to steal your car don't park it on public roads

See how dumb that is ?

> If you don't want me stealing and reusing your licensed open source code don't make it public

A practical matter, larger point completely aside: a nonzero number of individuals and corps will indeed use licensed code internally if they come across it and they feel it helps their goals.

Oracle and Microsoft will send you a million dollar bill if you tried that with their products. You would be surprised by who rats out a company for a reward

You probably think bandwidth costs are something you can squeeze out of thin air....
