AI tools are increasingly integral for web developers, used for tasks such as code writing and data analysis. Despite their benefits, the methods by which they gather informationâprimarily web scrapingâraise copyright and ethical dilemmas. The impact is felt in bandwidth usage, exemplified by Wikimedia's reported 50% increase in bandwidth due to AI scrapers, impacting both large and small sites. Developers face challenges in blocking AI bots, as many do not adhere to standard rules, leading to ongoing complications in managing website resources.
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are becoming a staple for web developers, enhancing coding and data analysis, but raising concerns over copyright and resource hogging.
Blocking AI bots requires adding entries to your site's file, but many bots, particularly from AI tools, often ignore these instructions and continue to crawl.
