Uncovering Content Theft by AI Farms: The Story of Obsidian Neural
In December 2025, Anthony Charretier, a multi-talented developer and musician, discovered his blog article was stolen and translated by a suspicious Barcelona-based site. This incident sheds light on the alarming rise of AI content farms.
Key Highlights:
- Automation of Content Theft: A staggering rate of over 7,000 articles per day was recorded at Q2B Studio, capitalizing on the automation capabilities of AI.
- Visibility Gains: The site saw a massive increase in organic traffic, jumping from 17,000 to 51,000 monthly visits, leveraging stolen content.
- Creative Engagement: Charretier launched a contest on dev.to to engage users with his AI tool, Obsidian Neural, designed for musicians to generate unique samples.
These practices not only misrepresent authorship but also undermine the integrity of the tech community.
