> With an unreliable tool that misses things and hallucinates? That seems like a really bad idea.

Have you tried Google Search? It hallucinates unrelated links 90% of the time. In fact if one out of 10 is good, you can consider yourself lucky. And humans have even worse recall than LLMs.

> Here's the thing. If nobody wants this, it will go away. But the reality is, many people do want this, so I'm predicting it will hang around.

Most people like it, even if it doesn't increase productivity, they still like using it. The penetration rate in education, science and software development is around 90%.

Joke's on you, FireFox already has AI integration in the sidebar.

"From now on, sexy flirtation will only be allowed with the other thousands of models from HF."

I used Perl for 15 years, loved it, switched to Python 10 years ago. Now I prefer Python, and the Perl advantage of compact syntax is none given that you use Cursor or some coding agent.

Capable LLMs appeared not even 3 years ago. Society doesn't adapt that fast. What productivity improvement, the whole process needs to adapt and change to see improvement.

AI can't replace people and it might not raise productivity very much, or at all, but it sure is nice to have as a tool. I can't imagine people wanting to do some tasks without it.

Here, here! LLMs are 100x smaller than their training sets, they can't possibly memorize them, so what they can do is learn generic compressed patterns. That is precisely what copyright should not protect - abstractions - and instead focus just on expression. LLMs are not even intended to reproduce expression, that is hard and inefficient. It costs money, comes out wrong, and is slow compare to ... copying which is fast, perfect and free. LLMs are precisely fit to be free of copyright issues but somehow people still scream "stealing". No, if you are talking about abstractions, those should be free to "steal".

Defenders of reddit rights don't care about your rights, they just want the AI companies to pay up

Technical solution is to avoid multiple parties doing their separate crawls. If there was a central cache, it could be set up such that crawlers pay the cache, and the cache pays the websites, ensuring fast and fresh access.

The crawler is representing a real human this time, it should get the same rights as the real human. Consider it an assistive technology, like TTS or Braille reader. The best way would be to just use a Chrome tab to perform the operations using a Computer Use agent.

Your system would collapse internet usage under connection costs. Not just bad bots, but also good usage would decline.

I bet every time you used Google you "mined" a dataset containing "every bit of data". So get off your soapbox.

Such a layoff of skilled programmers that can successfully automate with AI means they get hired immediately.
