@alexmu @nixCraft I did not say it's illegal or against copyright, Like Cloudflare puts it, "content theft", "degraded site performance" (https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ai/how-to-prevent-web-scraping/). It also "wastes application resources, skews analytics, compromises user accounts, and forces developers to build and maintain brittle, custom security logic" (https://www.cloudflare.com/products/bot-mitigation/). I think they're valid concerns, regardless of legality.
None of these applies to Anthropic, so can you explain why scrapping is relevant at all?

@lnicola @nixCraft It's not. You made a point of the difference. You could have ignored the sloppy wording. But you chose to have a go at what you perceived as a post biased against llms.

@alexmu @nixCraft Where does bias come into this? If it reported that Anthropic claims that usage indistinguishable from legitimate as an "attack", would it be biased for or against LLMs?
