Did you mean to link to a creative commons license?

Some people mistakenly think it'll poison AI scraping. It'll take about 2 seconds to filter that out of a dataset.

I don’t think they believe it will poison it, I think they believe they’ll be able to collectively sue when it’s discovered their content has been used.

Not sure if that’ll turn out to be a pipe dream as well, but it’s got a better shot than poisoning.

At least in the US, copyright doesn't cover every single thing you write down, and comments on a website probably are one of the many things you can't actually copyright. But it's vague enough that it would have to be argued in court to actually know for sure.
