So, did chatgpt mine your site today? Thank God I changed from the WP bloated stat software to some newer stuff. Chatgpt mind my geek blog. Did they ask permission? No! Have they offered to pay me? No! Have they mined my award winning technical book series? Don’t need a Magic 8-ball for that! India considered each copy they found to be a site license for the nation and pirated the living shit out of them.
Yes, on September 15, 2025, 1571 blog posts were mined. They obviously sucked it out via some exploited back door.
That’s right people. Only one visitor hit from them. The bot connected and hoovered up the entire database. Didn’t even have the decency to do it via individual “visitors” so it could potentially boost my ranking. I believe, but do not know because I didn’t check the day of 1178 page views, that nova.rambler.ru mined my site that day.
The free Kobo Analytics plugin is what identified chatgpt for me. Statify is the plugin that showed me what they did.
