"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
This definitely looks like a site crafted in the early 2010s. Information-forward, menus explicit, accessible, and complete screen space utilization. We’ve fallen so fucking far.
I was about to say that this site looked awesome.
...Not on my phone. lol
No top ten lists of what car drivers hate?
Aaw 🥺
Google is now poisoning the well from which their wealth sprung. They had a good run, but I feel like it's coming to a close. Not tomorrow, but the damage is growing and the internet like we've come to know it will disappear.
I am doing one big cycling tour every summer and was considering Holland for next year. Losing this resource is a damn shame. I can only hope that the information there will be still be correct enough to be useful.
so, when AI scrapes a website do you think it's doing a raw text dump scrape or is it doing a full render?
I have an idea that's low level enough that might poison these scrapers. it will unfortunately break SEO too, but that can be fixed with proper header keys etc.
I think it also scrapes all images with an alt text, as they can be useful for training.
