@pietervdvn Because that would involve a human using their brains or having a shred of conscience and those both go against the basic principles of the companies doing this.

@InsertUser @pietervdvn @osm_tech It goes against their whole ideology. The ideology says trust the machine to do what it copied from scraped Stack Overflow posts. If you try to intervene to make it do better, you're not trusting it.

@InsertUser @pietervdvn @osm_tech One of the most maddening things about all this is I go out of my way on all of my sites to provide a detailed sitemap and all of the link traversal hints to tell bots what links to not bother with because they give nothing of added value, and then the AI scrapers just go ahead and hammer everything en masse anyway, all to try to extract one last shred of additional information from my sites. I'm so sick of it.
