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
