"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.

Some of these used the site using legitimate URLs, others were looking for back doors, most likely so they could get to the data before it appeared on the site, or to manipulate the data presented to users.

I'm sure they know what they're doing, making me very wrong, but bots probing for back doors is very common, and not at all anything to be concerned about. The attackers most likely don't even care about the data, all they want is another site to spread malware or to join their botnet.

AI scrapers can be brutal though, and is very relevant.
