Lying requires intent to deceive. How have you determined their intent?
> Lying requires intent to deceive Since when do we ask people to guess other people's intent when they have better things to show, which is called evidence? Surely we should talk about things with substantiated matter?
There’s evidence the statement was false, no evidence it was a lie.

This may be too paranoid, but if your mobile IP is persistent and phone was compromised and is serving as a proxy for bots then it could explain why your IP fell out of favor
You don't get your own external IP with the phone, it's shared, like NAT.
Their appetite cannot be quenched, and there is little to no value in giving them access to the content.

>> there is little to no value in giving them access to the content If you are an online shop, for example, isn't it beneficial that ChatGPT can recommend your products? Especially given that people now often consult ChatGPT instead of searching at Google?
ChatGPT won't 'recommend' anything that wasn't already recommended in a Reddit post, or on an Amazon page with 5000 reviews.
You have however correctly spotted the market opportunity. Future versions of CGPT with offer the ability to "promote" your eshop in responses, in exchange for money.

Would you consider giving these crawlers access if they paid you?
If they're not respecting robots.txt, and they're causing degradation in service, it's unauthorised access, and therefore arguably criminal behaviour in multiple jurisdictions. Honestly, call your local cyber-interested law enforcement. NCSC in UK, maybe FBI in US? Genuinely, they'll not like this. It's bad enough that we have DDoS from actual bad actors going on, we don't need this as well.
Sounds like grounds for a criminal complaint under the CFAA.

> Cloudflare also has a feature to block known AI bots and even suspected AI bots In addition to other crushing internet risks, add wrongly blacklisted as a bot to the list.
This is already a thing for basically all of the second[0] and third worlds. A non-trivial amount of Cloudflare's security value is plausible algorithmic discrimination and collective punishment as a service. [0] Previously Soviet-aligned countries; i.e. Russia and eastern Europe.

I'd kind of like to see that claim substantiated a little more. Is it all crawlers that switch to a non-bot UA, or how are they determining it's the same bot? What non-bot UA do they claim?
I would take anything the author said with a grain of salt. They straight up lied about the configuration of the robots.txt file. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42551628
Your accusation was directly addressed by the author in a comment on the original post, IIRC
i find your attitude as expressed here to be problematic in many ways
Some of these ai companies are so aggressive they are essentially dos’ing sites offline with their request volumes. Should be careful before they get blacked and can’t get data anymore. ;)
>before they get blacked ...Please don't phrase it like that.
Not everyone speaks English as a first language
