You don’t need to do anything. You can use any number of solutions or roll your own.

Someone shared an alternative. Must everything in AI threads be so negative and condescending?

Yes, they could roll their own, but you have no issues with this being necessary? I think the attitude of "just deal with it" is far more negative than someone expressing they are upset with the state of the internet, its controllers, and its abusers.

There's trillions invested in AI. Don't expect any introspective insight or criticism about it.

This is like saying "lets just get rid of all the guns" to solve gun violence and gun crime in the USA. The cat is out of the bag and no one can put it back. We live in a different world now and we have to figure it out.

> Must everything in AI threads be so negative and condescending?

Because if I own a website or a service and it is being degraded or slowed by some third party tool that wants to slurp its content for his own profit and don't even share, I tend to be irritated. And AI apologists/evangelists don't help when they try to justify the behavior.
