Why poison text?

I have no problem with them taking the content and putting it into their model. Sending my content to them is not the problem.

Sabotaging that by feeding incorrect results doesn't solve my problem. They just keep going. Since months I send something like "You have been blocked, because you are probably a bot" back to them. Yet, they simply don't stop crawling. I have hoped that at some point they must stop. But they don't. They do not care about what content they get. Yesterday I sent about 20 GiB of this text out to crawlers.

For me the problem would be solved if they started to crawl the web like every other web search engine in the decades before.
There's *huge* a difference between sending 20 GiB to non-DDoS Google crawler per day and sending 20 GiB to DDoS AI crawler that burn the system to a crisp due to the high amount of concurrent accesses.
