Just because some people might break into my house doesn’t mean I’ll stop locking my doors.
that doesn’t lock anything, it’s not a security feature.
A house door lock isn’t that much about security either.
It’s a deterrent. Which is a pretty apt comparison for robots.txt and user agent blocking.

That is the point. They don’t need to be secure to work as a deterrent
Is there some way you could have your web server log who scrapes the site? If you disallow ChatGPT and still find that it has scraped your site would you have cause to sue? @legaleagle (or anyone else too)
It’s gotta be pretty difficult to differentiate human users from bots. If it was easy, you could prevent bots from loading the page altogether.
Exactly what Google are trying to do currently. Just in the worst way possible.
I’m going to do that tomorrow for my blog site. There’s no way I am letting ChatGPT crawl my shit.
Narrator: ChatGPT crawled it anyway.
I mean, you can add their user agent to the robots file but the crawler could just change their user agent or even ignore the robots file if the server isn’t filtering requests by user agent
