Google now allows opt-out from your website being used to train their AI models while still showing up in search.
Once OpenAI added the ability to block their crawler, Google had no option but to do so as well.

@carnage4life F that. Should be opt in from the start.
I know I know. That’s not practical. But still…
@carnage4life Why can't Google honor the same "don't train on me"-flags as does openai? Or do they want to play API versioning games on us, always moving the goal posts?
Bastards. If you don't have permission, then you don't have ducking permission.
They already crawled the whole web and used it to train their stupid chatbots!
We need a word for this illusion of agency as a CYA in case of legal action
