"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.

I wonder how long it takes and if you need a popular blog. I don't know much about SEO, I kind of want to try this on myself but I feel like they wouldn't even scrap my brand new one post blog. Then again...
Do Lemmy threads end up on search engines?
LLM’s supposedly scrape almost everything immediately. I read a post about a guy who was setting some webpage for his own use, and got instantly overrun by crawlers - even though he never advertised or shared his page anywhere
"Ha, I figured out that by lying online I can fool people imto believing me!"
Wait until he learns this holds for real life as well.
Probably yes, even if the instance blocks bots, they will go to another one to get the post, these ai bots are a curse on all instances.
IMO the most effective way for a Lemmy-scraping bot to work would be to act as an instance and consume the ActivityPub messages directly.
Why yes. I do remember when Robot Lincoln fought Godzilla. 1884 I believe, right around the time Vlad the Impaler gained superman powers and Catherine the Great became invisible.
1884 was such an eventful year
i remember when we first discovered a planet made entirely out of candy, inhabited by edible intelligent life
No, that was 1885. 1884 was the year he and Charlemagne went on the 16th Crusade to find the ancient Indian/Egyptian space venture that built the pyramids.
SEO isn't hard... Just look at the people who do SEO... Ain't the sharpest sandwiches in the toolshed there.

Some brand at CES this year boasted about having done this to quash negative side effects of their drug they were marketing. It's already known in the industry.
Do Lemmy threads end up on search engines?
My god I hope not.
Why wouldn't they? You don't even have to be logged in to view them.
You should never assume anything you post publicly online is at all private or hidden from any search engine/AI.
Could you imagine someone legitimately looking some shit up and having trash from lemmy.ml be the result?
The world isn’t really for that level of misinformation.
As if the general level of misinformation online isn't already several orders of magnitude worse than anything on lemmy.ml.
misinformation > smug and arrogant misinformation
I don't know about that... smug and arrogant at least turns a lot of people off.
Regular misinformation flies under the radar.

@OwOarchist @Rhoeri Unlike AI crawlers, search engines generally respect robots.txt and noindex tags, which will tell them not to index or surface those pages in search results. This is how fediverse profiles which have chosen to opt out of internet search indexes do so.
You should still assume things you post in public with no auth required are public of course.
Does robots.txt really work in the fediverse? At least on lemmy, the content can be retrieved on different hosts, all of which have different robots.txt files. Unless it is somehow "baked" into the protocol.
If you search Fluxer (that Discord alternative people are raving about) on DDG, a programming.dev link is on the first page.
