Hey, interesting idea, however:
  1. How do you enforce this <meta> tag? Sounds similar to robots.txt which is not enforced. It's just a request which a web scraper can just ignore.
  2. Sounds similar to pay walls. People generally don't like to pay for content that they haven't seen yet.
I think you nailed the problem but the solution seems to be too idealistic/naive.

This. And with the advent of LLM decentralization it's even less likely that they will honor the meta tag.
Der Gigi's articles about content/paywalls are insightful

The majority of the users will use the big Ai´s from Google / Microsoft / Adobe etc. - only a minority will run their own open source LLM.
The majority could still download all movies from pirate bay - still they choose Netflix and pay for it.
I am pretty sure something like this will develop as well, the big content farms like NYT will demand compensation for using their content.

Possible. If that is the case though I doubt the NY Times will settle in sats with Microsoft.
I think your idea is interesting but I see it difficult to implement.

it would be good to have a solution in the pocket when the narrative develops imo.

Hey, thanks for your thoughts.
  1. you can not enforce it, i am sure there will be the narrative developing that the content producers have to get a compensation for their effort somehow. So there will be "ethical" Ais (the big ones) which can not just ignore it and "steal" the content.
Similar to Netflix and Priate Bay - you can get everything for free if you want, but Netflix does not stream pirated movies as they would be sued and their brand reputation would be damaged. It will be similar with the big Ais from Google / MIcrosoft etc. - they can not just take the content and basically rewrite it and make money from it while the producer of the content gets nothing.
  1. The difference is that the Ai gets to read the content for free and only if it uses it in its answer for the user, the content producer gets paid.

For me, the comparison with Netflix and Pirate Bay doesn't hold since it's obvious that Pirate Bay is infringing copyright.
This means that the following:
they can not just take the content and basically rewrite it and make money from it while the producer of the content gets nothing.
raises the question: Why not? Afaict, it is pretty hard to proof that an AI is just "rewriting" instead of just taking in information and producing "new content".

The big content farms (media companies) will lobby like crazy to get some laws which makes big tech compensate them for their content. Politicians are afreaid of the power of the media, so they will get their compensation.
The little content producer will get fucked likely - and then they will not produce conttent anymore. Not all of them - but the majority.
