I want to write more for myself and for others on my blog.

But it's so depressing to know that what I write will be potentially scraped by companies to be digested to build their product...

I think a lot about this too, it also gives me pause whenever I think about posting code. Just another thing that could get devoured by ‘the machine’ , eventually scrubbed of any trace of its author and origin.
“I made this” said the ai techbros as they continued to steal with impunity….

A revival of paper magazines and fanzines on the horizon?

For images, there are ways to mess up ai models scraping the content if they do it. Maybe there is something similar for text?

And then to hear the “adapt or die” mentra from the AI crowd praising a product that was built on years of stolen content from people they seem to hate and so deeply want to replace.

Although realistically anything on the web will be scraped sooner or later, there are lists of scraper user agents you can add to your robots.txt and even dedicated tools such as https://anubis.techaro.lol/ to block those who ignore it. Maybe that can help!

There must be a way to hide things from ai, like maybe collecting can't work for payed websites, or you can implement a mini game you have to finish first and then you're able to get to the content.

Maybe I'm dumb and don't know how collecting data works. HTML stuff is usually easy to look through

The fight against AI is definitely far from over sadly, but don't let it stop you from creating! In a sea of slop, we have to do work we're passionate about and make our individual voices heard more than ever!
