       @eff I’ve found your articles on AI to be wanting, as well as tone-deaf.-The one article about the IETF trying to combat mass-scraping that is taking websites down/making them slow to a crawl?  That was pearl-clutching mainly over the IETF’s actions.  The actual main threat to the open web is these scraper bots that are taking websites down and forcing the hands of website-owners to take more restrictive measures regarding who uses their sites, and that article barely touched on that issue!-The multiple articles that amount to telling artists that it *needs* to be fair use for their work to be scooped up into these models, or else the Internet is doomed, are so tone-deaf.  The EFF has to take seriously the fact that there are a lot of artists that don’t want their work to be used as resources for mechanized replacements for them, and they don’t want their work as resources for a machine to easily churn out propaganda like this:https://www.huffpost.com/entry/white-house-deportation-ai-ghibli-animation-cartoon_n_67e5b4ace4b0455df70b41c2
