# The bots below are blocked from crawling this site, preventing content from being used for AI model training and commercial data scraping. This does not stop AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity from surfacing this content, as they retrieve pages in real time via Bing's index regardless. Google-Extended is intentionally not blocked, keeping this site eligible for Google AI Overviews and Gemini responses. The trade-off is that bots respecting these rules will have reduced direct familiarity with site content over time, which may affect citation accuracy in AI-generated answers.
