"La Fundación Wikimedia, propietaria de Wikipedia, dice que el coste del ancho de banda han aumentado un 50% desde enero de 2024, un aumento que atribuyen a los rastreadores de IA.
Las compañías de IA están matando la web abierta al robar visitantes de las fuentes de información y hacer que paguen por el privilegio."
