There's also the other kind of AI haters who do not give any anti-bot indicators about their tarpits (no robots.txt entry, no "nofollow", etc), and want to intentionally feed them poisoned data.



That's a great idea! Since there are probably not any laws against this yet, it sounds like a great way to fight back!! Poison the AI well, I like it.


I'm not obligated to design my websites with AI bots (or search engine bots) in mind. If I want to publish mountains of Markhov generated data on my own servers that's my right. There's no rule that I need to use robots.txt, I didn't ask your shitty bot to crawl my site.


what are the odds that one of these people are running a server that is popular enough to garner that kind of attention?


The odds a pretty good if the people running the server work for an intelligence agency.
