Ai scrapping

[Sansburnedthewater]

Would it be possible to include AI scrapping under the rules for this archive.

Cause while you can prevent bots with the verification code there are no rules that strictly prohibit someone from feeding content that doesn’t belong to them into an AI language module.

Alongside this concern AI generated content might also need certain regulations.

I think that such actions should probably be addressed preemptively rather than later.

Preventing AI scraping would be something done at a programming level, I think. I still need to figure out how to do it but basically I'd need to find a way to reject bots from accessing the site, which is tough because they've been getting more and more sophisticated.

I think the most likely solution would be to make most of the forums only accessible by members.

Then again, I suppose it couldn't hurt to have "No AI scraping" enshrined as a rule, just to discourage individual users from plugging what we write into ChatGPT or whatever to come up with responses.

Yeah even if you don’t find a proper programming solution setting rules might at least give a way to punish people for doing it

I went ahead and added it to the rules, and broadened it to "don't feed any of the site's content to an AI" as well.
