update on the ai situation - there's this text file that prevents bots from scraping your site's data. if the bot hidden in the source of the code editor happens to be a fork of any openai bots, this will stop it. place it in the root of your folder structure, and take a look at the additional bots you can block. https://github.com/DynTylluan/owly.fans/blob/main/robots.txt

Just for confirmation cuz I'm still kinda confused. The creator of the website made a weird blog post about AI saying some really disagreeable things. The code editor also has some use of AI that we don't know exactly what's it used for?
@the-game-hoard the blog post was about a year ago. the ai in the code editor was a leftover "april fools" joke but it's still in the source of the editor. a cohost user a while ago emailed kyle about the situation and how they don't want it to be a permanent feature. it's supposedly "turned off" but no one is certain. https://cohost.org/nicky/post/5665868-damn-i-should-be-sen
plus everyone's saying it's a generative ai fork
Thank you for sharing.
thank you for sharing all of this! I appreciate the link to the cohost post, bcuz I was really confused abt the whole situation too, bcuz it felt like everyone was suddenly leaving neocities without saying much other than "there's AI!"
oh alright! still a little sketchy to me but it isn't the worst🤷
@bloodgulch it is super sketch, but considering you have to dig deep to even find it + the little evidence out there that proves it's actually in use, i wouldn't worry a whole lot about it. there's also the question of does neocities even make enough funds to support a functional chatbot? until it's up in my face begging for me to use it, i'll be staying. i made a mirror to have multiple backups anyway.
