A robots.txt explicitly allowing LLMs has nothing to do with whether it was made for humans or not and is generally the right move assuming you want your site picked up and recommended by AI tools. No different than allowing search engine crawlers to pick it up and the authors focus on that is bizarre when the rest of the evidence is so stark.

But, what actually are the benefits of all this peptide ingestion ? Does it replace, Good Food, Sleep and an exercise ?

Ozempic and Mounjaro are peptides. They are a silver bullet for obesity and orders of magnitude more effective than anything up to a gastric band surgery. Insulin is a peptide and keeps some 50 million people alive globally. You could go on and on.

The real question is: What is the risk/reward ratio of putting novel, poorly researched and dubiously manufactured but extremely biologically active substances (which happen to be peptides) in your body via injection? To that I say, maybe good, maybe bad, definitely you first. I'll wait for the pharma industry to catch up.

You can feel like you have control of your life and body, without doing anything about sleep, exercise or food. If you like that control.

I guess "feeling like", sounds like a placebo.

From what I've read there is some real risks associated with using them. Sounds a bit like the marketing of steroids in the 70s.

I have seen so much talk of Bay Area "peptide parties", so at least there is some social benefit?

I'm not sure I'd agree that a "bay area peptide party" has any real, useful social benefit. Sounds like hell.

Tldr: the sketchiness of buying drugs online from china to inject has become sketchier.
