Would you pay money for the hosting and for the maintenance of such
a mirror?<span style="white-space: pre-wrap">

<p>You should've asked:</p>
<p>"If websites with large Pascal forums and wikis get DDoS'd by AI
data harvesting bots..."</p>
<p>The answer should be that, if they get DDoS'd, then nobody would
be able to access them - neither AI bots, nor regular users. So,
the outcome would be worse.<br>

<p>Please don't post ChatGPT generated responses as if they have any
kind of authority. ChatGPT comes with a fine print: "ChatGPT can
make mistakes." In this particular case, the company that trains
ChatGPT has a clear conflict of interest. It is only normal that
it exaggerates the effect of blocking AI harvesting bots.<br>
