As "AI harvesting" as we know it today is just yet another instance of

"discovered" this valuable "resource" and weren't already at work
strip-mining it.
I would answer to an AI if it would openly ask for advise about a topic
where i feel apt to issue an opinion. Such a change in harvesting would
be beneficial for the web, because we could put Anubis et.al. back to
their graves if the mindless workload of AI harvesters on the public
web sites would ease.
Yes, AI development is mainly driven by greed. But it cannot strip me
of my knowledge or convince me of its contemporary nonsense.
(I see in the web clueless attempts of AI to explain creation of
bootable ISOs. Obviously patchwork made from various mutually exclusive
ways to do it by xorriso.)
It would be better if AI had more clue and thus could be less
misleading. Of course there are AI owners who obviously strive for
gaining control over their human users' mind. I would be glad to see
other AIs fighting these attempts ... so we get smoothly into the
pampered and isolated state of the Spacers in Asimov's novel
"The Naked Sun".
Have a nice day :)

I'm responding to this off topic thread because I got some grief for
asking the AI to make a diff and me not knowing what the numbers
preceding each line were supposed to mean.
I had a friend who never forget anything seemingly. Any date in history
or some chemical formula he could rattle it off.
That is memory as intelligence.
Other aspects of human are connecting things in unusual ways
I'm very interested if the AI boffins can work out what thinking is.
