  Also, does anyone have anything I missed? I know some people were suggesting not letting google index everything by updating your robot.txt file.

    robots.txt isn't an ideal way of preventing pages being indexed. X-robots http headers are more reliable: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/robots-meta-tag https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/... Regarding AI, it's a bit more tricky since it isn't going to abide by your rules. Cloudflare have tools: https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-bots/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-bots/ How effective these are though, IDK?

      Oh that's interesting. Yea, paywalls might end being the most effective way of preventing AI bots, but even those could be circumvented. It's a tricky problem for sure.
