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.
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.

Agreed that privacy can be a concern. Ideally it will be possible to run LLMs locally in the near future, but we'll see.
