As of today, AI crawlers from Apple, Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon, Meta, ByteSpider and Google are all still feeding manically on the endlessly generated babble, totally captive to it.
They could stop, but are instead dedicating an enormous amount of resources. They show no signs of slowing, with the exception of Apple whom had a pathological day 1 honeymoon period, before settling in with the others.
PerplexityBot has dropped off for now. I'd really like to know why, but figure I never will.
