@davidgerard In theory, you can now have Google index your site for search without feeding it to AI, by blocking the "Google-Extended" crawler but allowing "Google" in robots.txt. Apparently this was introduced in April; perhaps enough sites decided Google search had become so enshittified that they weren't getting enough traffic any more so just blocked Google, who noticed.

My extremely limited testing suggests that Google are actually honouring this, at least for now. Their search results are still AI-drenched crap, of course.
