I think someone ran a test in 4chan once and found out a lot of the users over there were actually bots and you wouldn't be able to tell as easily. The AI stuff is actually very advanced at this point I'm sure of it...

This is only shocking or surprising to people who don't understand technology.

This is lierally why robots.txt was invented decades ago.

https://saidit.net/robots.txt

Saidit has a robots.txt

If you don't want the things you type online to be visible to robot crawlers - there is a solution.

Unfortunately for anyone who has a problem with this story: saidit has decided to allow AI to read the comments you type into saidit.

If you really had a problem with the OP story then you wouldn't be using saidit.

Get with the times you luddites

robots.txt is just a request, plenty of crawlers ignore it.

There are ways to deal with that, too
