I mean I see why Reddit and Twitter are doing it. We're in a really weird transitional period of the internet right now, for better or for worse. They're doing it to prevent scraping, because why would you read all these garbage tweets to get to the information you need when an ChatGPT can spit out the exact information without fluff? It's taking their content without any funding back to them, effectively stealing their revenue.
So what are these companies to do? Honestly I hope this is birth to a new form of social media, and this benefits the fedi greatly. It will be unsustainable to run large social media companies like theirs who profit off of user data and content. Whereas tons of fedi servers ran by hobbiest, effectively ran out of pocket or by donations, is much more sustainable. They're doing it for community and more pure content that everyone wants without corporate fluff. If ChatGPT scrapes the fedi community, that's okay because the fedi isn't designed to make money so nothing is lost.
At the start of social media, companies ran on investment money and did their best to grow as fast as possible. Now they are trying to start supporting themselves and their efforts are often counter productive. As boomers retire, less and less investment money will be available, so you should expect more of this mess in the future.
Question, what happens when ChatGPT comes for the fediverse? Will it kill small instinces?
What would we possibly lose to ChatGPT? We're here for human discussion, aren't we? There's no monetization motivation to write fake ChatGPT comments, and I don't see anything wrong with scraping our public comments for info, like it's already doing. Reddit/Twitter don't like it because it takes clicks and ad revenue from them, we don't have that issue.
ChatGPT writing is actually pretty obvious to spot. Also, ChatGPT is expensive to run.
But enough about Reddit.
well Reddit at least links to the original source, which gives them clicks and ad revenue.
with LLMs, who knows where the hell they get their info from
