It’s a little of a tree in a forest situation. If an AIcrawler absorbs and turns a completely unknown indie book with single digits of readers into a data point for your novel, did anyone get hurt? I dont think that hypothetical author would be grateful for that. It’s not someone reading their book.

🌐🌿 Sustainable web practices:

Disallowing web crawlers? Only allowing the most 2-3 sustainable web crawlers? Only getting visitors from direct recommendations? Is editing robots.txt enough?

What do you think?

AI Struggles to See Value
Currently, humans recognize the value of online information and turn it into economic activities like consumption or advertising. In contrast, AI cannot inherently perceive value, so its access generates no direct revenue.#AIcrawler #DigitalEconomy #InformationValue
