Gregory's Server@leah I work for a large software firm with huge amounts of online content - which the AI firms have publicly said they trained on. We've since indicated through our various mechanisms they are not allowed to scrape content... But they very clearly are. We just moved to g4 analytics and started removing bot traffic from our metrics. It was nearly 70% of our traffic, so your numbers are dead on.

@T1gerlilly @leah I had a similar experience with my Wordpress site hosted in Canada and my static site hosted in Austria |
@leah And here's the thing, they're scraping and surfacing content that's our IP. They're literally stealing from us and redirecting traffic from our business.This is definitely criminal conduct, even if we don't have laws that mark it as such.
