I decided to ask a generative AI, Perplexity, this thread’s question. While you can read what it came up with here, a very interesting part of the output is it shows that within a day of this thread being posted on TidBITS, the thread became part of an AI’s knowledge base. The first source cited in Perplexity’s answer is this very thread.
So it seems pretty clear that TidBITS Talk is regularly searched and scraped by generative AI and LLM engines, Users beware!
