One of the first things I needed to do after creating a Lemmy instance was block all the AI bots from scraping everything. It only took a day before ChatGPT, AmazonBot and Alibaba came crawling through. Alibaba was the most annoying as it didn't even identify itself properly, as mentioned in the article, it looks like an Edge browser.

They're genuinely difficult to detect early on, however, systems to limit the damage they do, and ultimately push them out, are viable.

It could be viable to screen high impact positions through an assessment from a qualified psychologist specialising in Cluster B, however, probably not all positions.

Most people have zero chance of dealing with these individuals, even knowing what they are.

This comment seems ironic given the username.

I'm using Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy. The Boost for Reddit app requires several patches to keep working though, which makes it inaccessible for most people.
