@aral @gamingonlinux n00b question. I have blocked Google using a robots.txt rule for my instance and have also done the following. Can they still scrape off content from my site? Granted there are tools available to do that but wanted to know still.

  1. List of “AI” bots to block from crawling your website: https://neil-clarke.com/block-the-bots-that-feed-ai-models-by-scraping-your-website/
  2. From OpenAI. This will take a few minutes. Disallow GPTBot and then customize the access to GPTBot in robots.txt: https://platform.openai.com/docs/gptbot
