"It's almost like a Marvel movie - the hero of the last movie becomes the villain of the next one,"
"Google is the problem here. It's the company that's stopping us from moving forward on the internet, and until we force them - or hopefully convince them - to play by the same rules as everyone else and split their crawlers between search and AI, I think it's going to be hard to completely lock down all content."
"Prince hopes that industry pressure and possible future regulation will lead to new and fairer business models. Where AI companies pay for licensed content instead of scraping it for free."
Google's combined role in search and AI creates an obstacle to progress on the internet. The company must be compelled or convinced to follow the same rules as others and to split its crawlers between search and AI. Without segregated crawling, it will remain difficult to completely lock down all content and control how content is used. Industry pressure and potential regulation could drive new, fairer business models. AI companies should pay for licensed content instead of scraping it for free. Establishing paid licensing and clearer rules would protect content owners, support sustainable creator revenue, and balance innovation with rights enforcement.
