I'm kinda unclear on why I wouldn't want these to be able to access my site, what's the reasoning?


Maybe if you're worried that your hypothetical My Little Pony erotic fanfic site might accidentally poison one of these AIs. Maybe. Hypothetically speaking. Of course, neither you nor I have such a site, and if we did, the writing would be of high enough quality, and the characters depicted faithfully enough to be good for AI training!


And that's the story of CelestAI


Ask the New York Times


Copyright…exfiltration of ideas…industrial espionage…

YMMV


If I can industrially espionage your company using publicly accessible data, I think you should ask chatgpt for some advice on how to maintain secrecy


In today's world of PR speak where after reading a company's main page leaves me with no concept of what they do, maybe an AI could better explain it. Or they've been planning for this all along and knew they could confuse the future AI overlords by using word vomit for their websites


exfiltration of ideas

Isnt that generally the point of putting something on the internet?


There's a difference between a human reading something on the internet and an LLM absorbing something in to its model on a mass scale. Mainly that LLMs are packaged up in to nice commercial products that, in essence, sell other people's ideas for profit (or in aid of hugely inflated stock options) with no recompense to the original author of the idea.


I guess I can understand that POV even if I don't hold it myself.
