Imagine a website showing a weather forecast. Maintainers of this page are running a webserver and a service that analyse raw meteorological data to calculate tomorrow’s weather. In exchange they are making money out of ads.
Now there is an AI agent that enters that page on behalf of user, gets the forecast and show it back to user. User never sees an ad, maintainer never sees his revenue. How is that not stealing?

On the one hand this is good news, because allowing stealing data from websites we would just financially kill those who produce legitimate data (e.g. news site would have articles stolen without receiving add revenue as only bots visit them).
On the other hand - AI tools will get dumber, which makes me sad because I personally hoped for having one day a supercharged assistant that reads and summarises Internet for me. Tools like Perplexity creating research on given topics looked very promising
