But we get a TON of robots activity, so all that knowledge is getting scraped. Maybe at some point I should stop spending the $30/yr to keep each forum alive...


There are ways to keep web sites from getting scraped for data. Blocking Google and other common data minors was realitively easy back in the day. Looks like there are tools out there to block AI, too, but I don't know how effective they are.

Yeah, simple HTML code (at least for robots).

But I did not mean to lament that the data was being taken or stolen, but that my core reason for keeping these forums alive - ensuring we don't lose the historical knowledge - should be covered some day, if not already, by that data being scraped and becoming available elsewhere.

But there truly is nothing that can replace the human interaction of this knowledge base, especially when it's either wrong and/or nuanced.

For example, you know the best way to get the right answer in social media to anything? Simply declare something you know is wrong. Quite quickly the Internet will pounce to correct you.

I don't think AI gets that...yet. - GA

I just graded 33 papers for my epidemiology class. Over half were AI, and a few were 100% AI. Sigh. This was just yesterday so I am still considering what to do about it.


So are the students learning the material when using AI? Seems that would be a concern.

When doing papers, isn't it common to list your references especially if quoted word for word? If that's still a thing, wouldn't it be responsible to list using AI and also which AI engine was used?

One would hope. I am teaching a masters course in Pharmacology. Most of the students are from a non English speaking country. The written assignment answers are impressive. Me, I always try to learn from spell check. Often I argue with it.

I’ve asked AI if I’m dumb and we’re having an argument
