Because attribution, social recognition and prestige are among the many reasons why people put the information out there, and there is nothing wrong with any of them.
This is why I care if my ideas are presented to others by an LLM (that maybe cites me in some % of cases) or directly to a human. There is already a difference between a human visiting my space (acknowledging it as such) to read and learn information and being a footnote reference that may or may not be read or opened, without an immediate understanding of which information comes from me.
If you want attribution and prestige, then publish your stuff in an actual publication -- a journal, a magazine, whatever. Go on podcasts, speak at conferences, and so forth.
Publishing on a personal blog is not the path.
LLM's aren't taking away from your "prestige" or recognition. Any more than a podcaster referencing an idea of yours without mentioning you is. Or anyone else in casual conversation.
I can't believe the hypocrisy of a guy with 76029 internet points (that's a big time investment, would be a shame if someone trained an LLM on it) pretending to not understand that people want recognition for what they say, regardless of where they say it.
Are there journals who discuss about personal life and perspectives? Or a big publication about clever homelab configuration? Or the millions of other topics people discuss and publish?
Publishing a website is a perfectly fine way to put your ideas out there and expecting to be acknowledged by those who read those ideas.
And yes, a podcaster talking about someone's idea without referencing it is an unethical behavior.
