Expected Behavior
AI model trainers systematically crawl websites to collect data for training and improving AI models. These bots read and analyze web content to understand language patterns, gather factual information, and build knowledge that will be incorporated into AI systems. The data they collect becomes part of the training dataset used to teach AI models how to understand and generate human-like text.
Should I Block DeepSeek Bot?
The decision to block AI model trainers depends on how your business uses the content on your site. If you create original creative work, proprietary research, or paid content that gives you a competitive advantage, you should consider blocking these bots to protect your intellectual property. However, if your content helps potential customers discover your products or services, allowing AI models to access it can help you reach new audiences when people ask AI assistants for recommendations.
