@bird@birdbox.partyGreat, just what I needed. Apparently even Amazon now have a web crawler which collects data to do what they describe as "improve our services, such as enabling Alexa to more accurately answer questions for customers".
It also looks like they use crawled data for training LLM too. So now, any data you have on your website could be used to train the next LLM AI model too.
Wonder if it has anything to do with this #AlexaPlus thing?
