Granted, I really don't know much about how all this works, but the thought occurred to me that Lemmy - as wonderfully open as it is, and without any kind of 'disappearing messages' or other privacy protecting functionality - is basically a smorgasbord for AI scrapers. Or am I (hopefully) wrong about this?

It's not like there's a lack of content to train any AI. So who cares.

If it makes you feel better it's unlike that most of your post or mine are suitable for AI training.

Also giving that search on lemmy is kind of bad any scrapper would have a harder time trying to get useful information out of all our collective garbage.

Any company willing to sink millions into train an AI would probably be better off paying some big social platform and getting good structured data.
