You likely consented to search crawlers. You didn't consent to having your site slammed by AI bots to regurgitate your site either privately or publicly.

If memory serves me correctly, nobody concented to the search indexes originally either, it took time for those guard rails to be put in place and respected. I would imagine that this new tech will undergo the same growing pains as guard rails get implemented.

Yeah but the difference is that search engines act in synergy while AI models usually extract value from the site. One is getting your woodworking shop in the phonebook without consent, the other is taking your lathe out the door.

+1 for a woodworking analogy. :)

Originally, you had to submit your website to search engines.
