Google and other megacorps with AI slopbots: AI bots should be free to slurp up as much data as they want. It doesn’t break copyright!
Also those companies: Wait, AI isn’t allowed to steal from us!

It’s not even their own content. Google took the search results from the sites they crawled and scraped.
This is fucking hilarious.

From The Verge page: “SerpApi says it can deliver Google search results for use by AI tools, but Google claims it’s illegally evading bot-blockers to steal copyrighted content.”
Bwahahahah! Oh, now that gave me a great laugh!
Evading blocks isnt illegal
This is completely untrue. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act uses extremely broad wording. People have been sued for right clicking on a webpage and saying “View Source” before. Aaron Schwartz, co-founder of Reddit, was driven to suicide after a harassment campaign by the FBI and scientific paper publishers, as another example.
How can it be scraping up Google search results when Google is no longer providing search results?
?
I think that they are dunking on google for only serving Ai summaries and high paying sponsored results.
And here I thought the pitch for AI was all about democratizing knowledge. Womp womp.
The irony.
