Some good replies to my post about Reddit, Micro.blog, and robots.txt yesterday. One wrinkle that may not be obvious: when the pref is enabled, we run bookmarked text through AI to summarize it. This is another reason why I feel better erring on the side of respecting robots.txt. Not sure, though.
@manton Might be worth checking in with users to see how high-value the summary is to them. I have AI enabled because of alt-text but would be fine without bookmark summaries.
@KimberlyHirsh I've been wondering that too. Personally, I like the summaries. Might be a useful survey.
@manton That doesn’t feel like it makes a difference. If you were *training* an AI on it, sure, but this is more the equivalent of me hitting the “fetch article text” button in my RSS reader.
