Block AI Crawlers for WordPress

It is no secret that many folks are using LLMs to get things done these days. A lot of these models use your content for training without your permission. You can always block their IP to completely stop them from visiting your site. A better approach would be using fail2ban to temporarily block bots that don’t respect your robots.txt directives.

With Block AI Crawlers for WordPress, you can modify your robots.txt to block common scrapers. This plugin provides support for  “noai, noimageai” directives. These tags are experimental, so there is no guarantee that all bots will respect them. Nevertheless, it gives you yet another way to get some control over how your data is used by AI models.
