alt Hacker NewsJust from looking at the sites in the BlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist blocklist, it blocks anything tangent to AI such as Hugging Face and other model developers like Mistral/Z.ai, not sites that actually post AI slop.
That's a good example of the exact problem with such a broad stroke rule.
In general, each blacklist targets a different facet of slop content farm structures. Some LLM use-cases like search are legitimate, but most traffic volume is spam/slop related.
Depends on your use-case, but most people don't need content used in network nuisances like YC AstroTurf posts. =3
