One of the first things I needed to do after creating a Lemmy instance was block all the AI bots from scraping everything. It only took a day before ChatGPT, AmazonBot and Alibaba came crawling through. Alibaba was the most annoying as it didn't even identify itself properly, as mentioned in the article, it looks like an Edge browser.

Woah holy shit I thought it was the usual Drew DeVault crying wolf, but it looks actually terrible. I wonder why my webservers never experienced this. Too insignificant?
