Well, is there’s no API, people complain that it’s too closed. If there is an API, people complain that it’s too open.
If you don’t want AI to see and use your data, don’t post it publicly. Attaching a license or terms could make clear what can and cannot be done with the data, but enforcement will be hard.
My opinion is that having an API is preferable, because anything that is put out there publicly can already be scraped anyway, but an API makes 3rd party clients and other integrations possible, which is a good thing.
