It should be illegal for bots to ignore robots.txt tbh, like fuck AI bros in general but the ones who go out of their way to scrape sites that make it clear they don't want to be scraped... Hope their shitty LLMs get poisoned beyond saving. And that it costs them a fortune in electricity bills. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It is illegal to derive work from copyrighted material without permission, yet there they are, doing it...

Or Facebook, outright pirating books for their AI ...

I mean, you don't have to wait for them to ignore instructions, just put these traps everywhere.

Fellas, does it make you a hater, to not want trespassers?
