The concept of robots.txt was created in a different time, when nobody envisioned that users would one day use commands written in plain English sentences to interact with websites (including interacting with multiple pages with such commands), so the discussion about if AI browsers should respect it or if they should not is senseless, and instead -if this kind of usage takes off- it would probably make more sense to have a new standard for such use cases, something like AI-browsers.txt to make clear the intent of blocking (or not) AI browsing capabilities.

Alright, I think we can agree on that. I'll see you over in that new standardization discussion fighting fiercely for protections to make sure companies don't abuse it to compromise the open web.
