This is just using robots.txt and asking "pretty please, don’t scrape me".

Here is an article (from TODAY) about the case where Perplexity is being accused of ignoring robots.txt: https://www.theverge.com/news/839006/new-york-times-perplexi...

If you think a robots.txt is the answer to stopping the billion-dollar AI machine from scraping you, I don’t know what to say.
