What's worse, is they train on your content, and very often you don't even get an attribution link. So the end user never even knows it was your site that provided the information and you never even get a single clickthrough. It's not like the SERPs where someone would click through, read your site, hopefully find it interesting and useful and come back.

It's going to be a serious problem and I've already seen sites that are down 90% in traffic simply because AI is scraiping them, answering the questions themselves and never providing a linkback.

I pulled all the websites I had - some existed for a decade plus and made me hundreds of thousands of dollars. All that is left is bots that theft the value of my work. Until something changes, goodbye.

I have no problem with these AI summaries but someone needs to make a law requiring the AI provider to generate links to the primary source as part of the output. If a human writer ripped off someones work and didn't attribute, it would be a huge scandal. when an AI does it, its expected.

Because of the way training works, is this possible/feasible? Not saying it shouldn’t be done, just wondering _how_ it could be done?

You might as well serve different content to bots. Incorrect content.

Why not just redirect all requests to your website to the Reddit frontpage?

This is like choosing to be an elementary school teacher and then quitting because it turns out your students for the year aren't your pets in perpetuity.

If your students were growing up to subvert your line of work, sure. Pretty sure that’s not the case though!
