cyangames	Just a word of warning, bytespider and claudebot are mass crawling again, if you run a website, block them via .htaccess -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

HoboBen	Dunno what your opinion is on ChatGPT is ethically. Figure, if we post here, it's public, and ChatGPT has as much right as any body to lurk the forum. But it's gonna package up what we say and regurgitate it without attribution and destroy the environment at the same time. And it's slurping up more data than anybody else. Do you block it? -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Jayenkai	I don't block it. But discuss whether I should. To be fair, all the various AI's would have scraped the site half-a-dozen times each, by now, even long before it was a "thing" to avoid. Bing's ALWAYS scraping stuff, and they're chucking all that into CoPilot, and Google Google the Google Google, so the only "real" option is to pretty much block EVERYTHING. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Stats for the past hour Google : 3,124 dataforseo : 521 Bing : 453 Probably actual users : 184 Bytedance : 97 Meta : 59 AmazonBot : 26 Claude : 8 DotBot : 4 GPTBot : 1 .. Google.. And I double checked the IPs, and they're definitely Google. Half of them are listed as GoogleBot, and the other half "Google Other"...!?! So, I presume their AI crap. I mean.. What am I supposed to do about that!? Block Google!?!?! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	I think you can change the crawl rate within webmaster tools...well search console nowadays -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Oh yeah, I forgot about "you have to fart about online". Quite why it can't pay attention to the settings in robots.txt, I've no idea. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
