Block AI bots from your website
Block AI bots from your website
Hi, I'm building a personal website and I don't want it to be used to train AI. In my robots.txt file I blocked:
- ChatGPT-User
- GPTBot
- Google-Extended
- FacebookBot
What bots should I also add? Are there any other ways to block AI bots?
IMPORTANT: I don't want to block search engine crawlers, only bots that are used to train AI.
You're viewing a single thread.
I have a personal site.
It isn't great. Don't even have a domain name. My robots.txt is here

Why bother? I just don't agree with AI.
Specifically what about AI don't you agree with?
Mostly the hype and because artists and creators are being hurt by its existence.
I feel as though using AI is a cop-out. If I want to do something good, I also want to be proud of it. So I would rather not take that away from myself by doing it with AI. However, progress marches on, and I am neither an expert nor an authority on the subject. Asking someone like myself that question is nearly a trap. If I tell you that Generative AI is a bubble, like cryptocurrency and the Metaverse, that is just my gut feeling.
How about a bubble like the internet? 90% of dotcoms failed in the 90s but the internet is alive and strong today. AI is just a tool, and from my experience an extremely useful one.
I get that argument. Perhaps the fact that I'm a professor influences my thinking. And, since we are in a privacy community, something like ChatGPT and privacy don't mix.
Meredith Whittaker (Signal) says^1:
The Venn diagram of privacy concerns and AI concerns is a circle
(I do keep on eye on their progress because it is interesting https://benchmarks.llmonitor.com/)
Agreed that privacy can be a concern. Ideally it will be possible to run LLMs locally in the near future, but we'll see.
I was about to ask the same question. It's one thing to think of the potential impacts of AI technology, but to be "against AI" in the most general sense is, to me, a weird concept, especially considering AI is so many things.
Nice, thats what I am looking for!
I don't remember what all of those are for so you might want to look them up.
I did, most of them are used for AI or business search engines. I copied everything except Yandex.
