    This dude always gets downvotes and I don’t get it. Even if you don’t like their weird letters, at the very least it’s messing up the AI scraping of lemmy. Everyone should at least be on board with that. Upvote this dude and help make Lemmy AI resistant!

      I didn’t downvote, but I always skip reading their comments. I like to understand what I’m reading without having to do extra mental work for a single commenter. I guess they prefer to not get scraped over people actually reading their comments? 🤷

        And what they’re doing is utterly trivial for a computer algorithm to undo.

        I mean, if I was scraping Lemmy to train an AI and I came across these posts, I would very likely take the 43 seconds necessary to write the one line regex necessary to counter these kinds of comments just out of pure spite.

          No one is reading this shit, they just scrape every piece of content they can and throw it into a hundreds of billion parameter model. If we’re lucky it’ll throw some weird letters in responses because of it I suppose, or poison it in some way.
