Track doesn’t mean store.

The word you are looking for is “collect”.

Saying you “track” implies you’re putting together a profile to be consumed in other services


LLMs are read only.

A developer would be the one using the LLM to evaluate page response text and scraping what they need.

LLMs cannot “crawl pages” or “scrape” or do anything - it’s an offline archive with a few convenience methods.

Being a bit needlessly pedantic here. I think it's well understood in these circles that such models are being driven by agents, which absolutely can crawl and scrape. The only thing a human needs to do is write rules for the agent to follow.


No, it allows people to dodge accountability.

It’s also not true.

An LLM cannot visit the internet at all.

There is no “agent” - that is a marketing term. It’s software and LLM that’s it.


There is no "software" - that is a marketing term. It's bits and that's it.


Not how words work, try calling it bits in any setting where you mean software.

Wouldn’t matter in court anyway or anywhere you put it to the test even if you called it bits.

Point is dodging accountability by saying some “AI did it” when it’s not reflective of reality.

LLMs are read only and have no access to the internet :)
