How do you know it’s “AI” scrappers?
I’ve have my server up before AI was a thing.
It’s totally normal to get thousands of bot hits and to get scraped.

Do you have a proper robots.txt file?
Do they do weird things like invalid url, invalid post tries? Weird user agents?
Millions of times by the same ip sound much more like vulnerability proving than crawler.

Some of them are at least honest and have it as a user agent.

Is ignoring robots.txt considered “honest”?

That’s not what I was talking about
