Indefinitely? Probably not.
What about when a regime wants to make the science disappear?

What about when a regime wants to make the science disappear?
So the solution is to allow the AI scraping and hide the content, with significantly reduced fidelity and accuracy and not in the original representation, in some language model?
Don't forget the onslaught of ads that will distort the actual publications even more going forward.
What has that got to do with blocking AI crawlers?
If it's publicly funded, why shouldn't AI crawlers have access to that data? Presumably those creating the AI crawlers paid taxes that paid for the science.

Becase it costs money to serve them the content.
