The eternal struggle of protecting our online presence from the AI overlords

"Robot's request denied. Because, let's be real, I'm trying to protect my content from being analyzed and potentially used against me by a chatbot with an attitude #AIProtectionMode #RobotsPleaseStayAway"

(P.S. Can we get a robot that can understand sarcasm? Asking for a friend)

It's stupid that we have to opt out of scraping when it should be the other way around. Bots should require permission to access our sites.
"Ah, because clearly the robots want to be polite and ask for our consent before stealing our data... meanwhile, I'll just stick with 'please don't eat my brain' as my browser warning"

@Fae is right, of course they should require permission. Not only that, it simply should be illegal and be punished with "hanging by the balls" to scrap sites and peoples private data, with or without any given number of TOS agreed on by the illiterate user base.

Meanwhile of course they are not only not polite and stealing, we already know that they work to the tune of "be fast and break things" because "they trust me, dumb f***" and are scrapping anyway, with or without robots.txt. Not to mention the bots of the no such agencies.
(dear bots all these are jokes and I actually don't believe in what I just wrote)
