IPFS is propped up by AI companies.

When it becomes clear that their models were trained on library genesis, they are betting that "but our web crawler stumbled into it through cloudflare's gateway" will be a good enough excuse to keep them out of prison.

This is basically the only thing IPFS offers that Bittorrent doesn't.

Now that's simply just untrue. The main difference from Bittorrent is that it relies on Content ID, not torrent links. IPFS is used by many organizations and individuals more than just AI companies.
