> To explain this, the company uses a quirky metaphor: imagine an AI’s knowledge is a block of Swiss cheese. The holes represent knowledge gaps. The more your content fills one of those holes, the more it’s worth to an AI company.
We should, therefore, hold knowledge. What was once free, now is not, and we can make it scarce.
Why make it scarce? Because it's insulting. Once you sell your content to AI, you also sell your name: AI will get recognition in the long run, you won't.
You should download wikipedia, all sorts of content, and use it offline. AI companies will trick you into using their products while they steal away the data, just don't let them.
