This is Ai poisoning. Blocking it you just make it not learn. Feeding it bullshit poisons its knowledge making it hallucinate.
I also wonder how Ai crawlers know what wasn't already generated by Ai, potentially "inbreeding" knowledge as I call it with Ai hallucinations of the past.
When whole Ai craze began, everything online was human made basically. Not anymore now. It'll just get worse if you ask me.
Kind of. They're actually trying to avoid this according to the article:
"The company says the content served to bots is deliberately irrelevant to the website being crawled, but it is carefully sourced or generated using real scientific facts—such as neutral information about biology, physics, or mathematics—to avoid spreading misinformation (whether this approach effectively prevents misinformation, however, remains unproven)."
That sucks! What's the point of putting an AI in a maze if you're not going to poison it?
