> Lets make AI poisoning the norm. If we all do it, they won't have anything to crawl.
The AI companies are just going to filter out garbage better (hint: they already do), and the crawlers are going to get better at pretending to be human. The only change we'll notice is that the end user's experience has gotten worse.
Better than it would have been if the content sites all go offline do to crushing crawling load...
Remember that it's the AI companies who are causing the pain. Others are just crying out in pain and trying to survive
