Using the term "excessive hyperbole" is itself hyperbole and is a little unrealistic for what we're talking about. What you might be referring to is the excessive number of sources I used and honestly you could take a page from that to back up what you're saying.
My original comment regarded people who create original content and want to be paid for it. That includes substack creators, CNN, and lots of enterprises in between. They all have the same problem with large LLMs either taking advantage of the tragedy of the commons or ignoring their robots.txt files and scraping their content even if they choose to not participate.
I haven't forgotten that news organizations said the same thing about Twitter, Facebook, etc. If you haven't noticed, news (especially local news) has been declining steadily for at least the last 25 years and several news organizations (again, especially local ones) _have_ either gone out of business or been bought out and gutted by hedge funds. Some of this for sure is due to miscalculations by those orgs, but the nature of those miscalculations matters. It's worth reading up on the history of media's financial relationship with social and search. It will help inform a lot on how it's going to go with LLMs and AI unless they find a way to make some deals. It behooves both sides.
