IA actually has technical and moral reasons to ignore robots.txt. Namely, they want to circumvent this stuff because their goal is to archive EVERYTHING.

Isn’t this a weak argument? OpenAI could also say their goal is to learn everything, feed it to AI, advance humanity etc etc.

  • OAI is using others' work to resell it in models. IA uses it to presrrve the history of the web

    there is a case to be made about the value of the traffic you'll get from oai search though...
