This gives me a headache.

One note among many: I already have a situation where goodreads has scraped my book and turned bits of my book where I quote other people (like Audre Lorde) into quotes attributed to me. Unsuspecting people then quote 'me' and then everyone gets 'called out' and I have to explain that I have complained to goodreads but nothing happens. I would really like this not to happen but it looks like actually it is going to escalate.

Also I love MY website. Leave it alone!

Who am I going to be if this happens?

What words will I be writing and speaking?

@tansy AI is already scraping every creative "content".
At the moment, I'm feeling extremely angry that they potentially scrape even my voice from my podcast.

My blog is clicked much more often by AI scraping bots than real readers.

My self-therapy against exploding is a new interest in the again growing #zine movement. #Zines, #Artjournals, and #Artbooks have a comeback.

This Company Is Secretly Turning Your Zoom Meetings into AI Podcasts

WebinarTV hosts 200,000 “webinars.” A Zoom call you may thought was private might be one of them.

@NatureMC Oh I very much know - my books were stolen by meta.
It's not the creativity theft that is new, it's the replacement of my website by something AI generated, and containing who knows what, that is alarming me.
But I will look into locaine - thanks!
