Blocking AI bots?

Is there a best practice for blocking AI bots on a Blot site?

I can include a robots.txt sourced from here: https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt

But that's very soft step. What else might I do?

I saw that Cloudflare has an AI blocking feature, but I'm not sure if I can use Cloudflare with Blot: https://blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your-aindependence-block-ai-bots-scrapers-and-crawlers-with-a-single-click/

Any other ideas?

Other than using robots.txt, Blot doesn't have any blocking feature. However, you can use Cloudflare with Blot. Just configure your domain there, then update your DNS records on Cloudflare to point the domain to Blot

Okay. I'll look into that, thank you!

Thanks for the encouragement. It was very easy to move my DNS records to Cloudflare. I'm planning to move my domains there as well!
