Please add an anti AI-scraping txt to csdb

I’ve noticed csdb has been scraped by ‘AI’ tools already, up to 300+ images.
I’d love to see a preventing solution added to csdb, as shown here: AI.txt.

It seems like a small effort.
Personally I’d hate to see my stuff being fed to the tech bros machinery. I hope someone can take care of this.

Cheers,
Sander

actually it should simply tell google, and every other crawler, to fuck off and die as well

Banish all preview bitmaps. Write a (java)script that would use Vice to live render a realtime preview from prg/d64? This even possible?

Hope action can be taken.
I'm seriously considering removing all my screenshots for the time being.
I did not consent to this :)

this is a good request, I already implemented it on xparty.net.
though I doubt it will have any impact: the ai.txt file has never been requested. nefarious scrapers will not care about a txt file.

As far as I'm concerned, any measure that makes it harder for the AI bastards to replenish their ammo supplies is welcome.

I guess it works as good as tinfoil hats.
Face it. If it's posted on the internet, you lose control of it.

@Krill is that one of those images that fucks the AI if it is in the training data? If so then this has more potential than txt file which no one cares for.

Added the ai.txt file as suggested.
Actually I never heard of that one before, but well..

Also checked the logs for the last week.
The ai.txt have been requested ..... ONE time - by me to test it! So.... :/

That'd only get you banned though :)

Why not just hide all content when not logged in? That solves so many problems at once...

First of all, Thanks Perff! Much appreciated.
I hope it will have some effect on the scrapers, perhaps eventually when legal things have been sorted out it might become a condition.

@Jetboy, that might be true, but if none attempts anything, that will be granted. And thanks for bringing up the image-tweaking to confuse the 'AI'.

@Groepaz, I tried to find that option, but could only find the downloads to be hidden behind the login? Please enlighten me :)

Update; I've ran the screenshots of my images by Glaze, in order to confuse the AI/LLM. And i'm replacing them here on csdb. (using minimal settings, the images are hardly affected visually).
