I was actually just listening to BTO yesterday, and Chicago. Remembering back when the world was still sane.
I agree, We haven’t seen nothing yet. I’m not sure most folks truly understand where this is going to end up. It is fun for now, but we are going to absolutely pay dearly for it later. If the FR has the normal rates and plan their host provides they are already paying dearly for the extra bandwidth AI bots are eating up. It just isn’t right at all...
My guess is that it won’t be long before more sophisticate tools are available to the administrators of sites that do not want to be used by AI models to help prevent excessive bandwidth use. I have been using hosting service for many years and am happy that the latest hosting plan that I purchased has unlimited bandwidth. Since I purchased 4 years in advance several months ago all of their plans have been revised.
With this type of situation, it is likely in the hosting service’s best interest to come up with a filtering solution.
