search crawlers used to bring people TO your site llm boots are used to keep people OUT of your site, because knowledge is indexed and distributed by corporations.

So if your site is dependent on ads, and since the only way for people to see those ads is coming to your site, then yes, you lose.
If your site exists to share information, then the information gets disseminated, whether via LLM or some browser, it doesn't make a difference to me
Those are not the only two options.
Why are you presenting the latter option as if it were mainstream? It's such a small percentage of use cases that it probably isn't even a rounding error.
People who want to disseminate information also want the credit.
I'd still like to know why you are presenting this false dichotomy. What reason do you have for presenting a use case that has fractions of a percentage as if it were a standard use case? What is your motivation behind this?
My only motivation is that it pains me to see smart capable people working on insignificant problems.
Maybe I don't understand the problem as well as I should, and I'm open to hearing what it is you think that I'm missing.
But from my perspective, this is a solution for a non-problem, which in my eyes is a problem itself.

This is psychological projection.

You don't get attribution for your work if it merely feeds into it's training data
That assumes the AI bots are scraping for training data and not simple retrieval/ RAG (which would likely provide attribution)
