Is it possible to blog in the AI era?
I write short stories every now and then and I throw them online. I also have a tech blog, where I moan about the decisions software I use make and with my “infinite wisdom”, I tell them what they should be doing instead.
I used to host both on Medium, but Medium got greedy. Then it was WordPress, but now even they’re trying to be greedy bastards and use my shit for training AI.
Some would argue that WordPress paid hosting will exempt me from the AI training, but for less than 100 visitors a year, it’s not really worth the expense.
So what is the solution? I ask the greater minds of this community for suggestions.
Use the gemini protocol. No need to worry about bots or AI
There are gemini to http gateways so the content is probably already crawled anyway.
That’s actually really cool. Not feasible as I want visitors, but cool AF.
How would Gemini stop anything to do with AI? Its not like it would be impossible to scrape.
It doesn’t stop anything, but it is only used by nerdy people who have blogs read by 10 people. There is no money, little data, and otherwise nothing for big corporations to be gained there.
Yeah I agree with that, but that’s also kind of the downside.
The gemini protocol seems interesting.
