    Are any AI companies using residential proxies to scrape?

      Yes. It's impossible to tell which because the split is residential proxies, dataset curators, and AI companies all being separate actors. However I fucking guarantee you it's out there and people are too cowardly to be honest about it so they don't get sued out of existence.
