Scraping? Isn’t this what all the ais are doing?
I use flip which let's me know when discounts are available. Also camel camel camel scrapes amazon. Scraping is pulling information off websites.
It just means automated search, like a search engine does constantly to stay relevant. Yes ai's do it, but also tons of websites and businesses.
Bad bots do it too, but they are bad
And posting to Reddit if I recall correctly :)
