Comment on I was wrong about robots.txt

Nothing on this page seems to contradict the article.

You look up what Googlebot does. No AI.
You want to know what crawlers do AI? Just search for “AI”, or “training”, or some such, or skim through. It’s not long. Google-Extended collects training data. Note that Google-Extended is explicitly not used to rank pages.
Did that help?

I disagree that it says that. The Cloudflare CEO seems to disagree as well.

It would be a lot to write, if you had to say what something does not do rather than what it does.
I looked at what the Cloudflare CEO said again. To be fair to him, he is not actually backing you up. He’s saying that Google makes no difference between the AI overview and the other search results. That is true. The AI overview is a search feature. I’m not sure why someone would want their link listed in search but not appear much more prominently in the AI overview.
