What an AI training crawler does
A training crawler gathers public pages that may end up in the data used to train AI models. It sends no visitors back, so blocking it is the usual choice for sites that don't want their content used that way.
Amazon may use a copy of your robots.txt up to 30 days old.
Block or allow Amazonbot in robots.txt
