> If AI results haven't started affecting our search traffic they will start to soon. Up until now we've had two choices: block AI-based crawlers and fall completely out of that market, or continue to let AI companies train off of our hard-won content and take it as a loss that still generates a little bit of traffic
You have another option, one that iFixit chose: poison[1] the data sent to AI crawlers, you may even use GenAI to generate the fake content for maximum efficiency.
