I can promise you that my fewer tutorials will be correct, not incorrect. An incorrect jumping off point is worse than none at all.

How so?

#52Can you give an example of what question someone asked GPT-4 and was misled? And how that question was better answered by one of your tutorials?

#53We are all myopic in our own ways. The guy who posted about blocking OpenAI so they will not answer questions about his software wrong (meaning not completely) ignores that his documentation is inaccessible to many less technically literate people. LLM AIs help bridge the gap to get newbies using software before they can understand the manuals.
When I entered college, my first Pascal course was on an SVR3 Unix system, and I read every manpage that I can find, because it was fantastic that I had access to that. Previously, I had read every shred of documentation of the Commodore 65xx systems, which generously included every technical detail possible. I mean, I had basically started on this in fifth grade. Reading manuals is how I gained my technical literacy.

Then why would they believe that it doesn’t know anything about your software?
At this point, I believe you're just a troll.
Why do you think that? I'm sorry if I came across as rude or something but I genuinely disagree with your point, I don't think trying to explain why I think this is a bad idea makes me a troll. I'm not alone either so do you think everyone except you is a troll?

#55IIRC LLMs also use common crawl data for training. Are they also blocking common crawl? Another thing is that chatgpt 4 can do live retrieval of websites in response to users questions. That is a different crawler doing that I imagine. Are they going to block that too?
This. Unfortunately, there is common crawl, there is bing and a million of other ways they could hide/get the data from. Or, just ignore robots.txt, it's not like it's a very honest or transparent operation they run there.

#56Adding friction to the use of information about your product seems like a disservice to the users/customers.
By not having that information in the system at all will only degrade the answers. Not change who is asking.

#57Just a thought that I have, wouldn’t it be better to block all robots and only to whitelist a select few? More AI bots are scraping now and in the future…
Author here. I wish I could, but I bet most would just ignore robots.txt.
Seconding. robots.txt is just a way of "asking nicely." If somebody wants to scrape, they're spoofing their UA and ignoring it. Can't do anything other than monitor the logs and ban IPs one by one.
