# If your future ChatGPT or AI response has atrocious grammar and bad puns, blame me

[The Washington Post recently posted a story about sites that have been used to train ChatGPT and other AI language models for chatbots](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/ai-chatbot-learning/). Included in the post is the ability to look up your site to see if it’s been used. And I’m sorry to report, that Silicon Florist has. You’re welcome…?

> A web crawl may sound like a copy of the entire internet, but it’s just a snapshot, capturing content from a sampling of webpages at a particular moment in time. C4 began as a scrape performed in April 2019by the nonprofit CommonCrawl, a popular resource for AI models. CommonCrawl told The Post that it tries to prioritize the most important and reputable sites, but does not try to avoid licensed or copyrighted content.
