Manton ReeceI get the distrust of AI bots but I think discussions to sabotage crawled data go too far, potentially making a mess of the open web. There has never been a system like AI before, and old assumptions about what is fair use don’t really fit. But robots.txt still works! No need to burn everything down yet.
Paul Robert Lloydrobots.txt, and other valid attempts to block AI bots are ignored. AI companies are not playing fair, and are a clear and present danger to the open web.
