Ask HN: Is there a robots.txt equivalent for LLMs? like LICENSEME.txt?
If you run a blog and don't want to allow LLM crawlers to train on your content, do you have options? I guess if you selectively allow crawlers that promise to not use the data in such a way, robots.txt is still the way to go. Otherwise you need to selectively allow certain bots. However, as well as with web crawlers, respecting a robots.txt is optional. Insidious with AI-models is that it is difficult or practicably impossible to prove that it trained on your data. Difficult to establish a standard like robots.txt. There also was .well-known/security.txt that Google proposed. Some sites serve it, but it hasn't really become a standard. Ironically my blog is written with the help of an LLM, so AI scraper bots are trained on their own output. But if you are concerned there's a good resource here for blocking them: https://darkvisitors.com/
