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.

Pollute your site with nonsense that’s invisible to users. Things like pages that are linked to with invisible links that are just walls and walls of random text.

OP still wants search indexing, in which case it's a big no-no - it can be perceived as spam by search engines, and links your pages to tons of unrelated keywords.

I can block search engine crawlers from specific paths so that should be solved.
