Two OpenAI bots appear as online

Post by Mæstro » 2025-12-22, 01:39

I could notice, beside the swarm of web spiders crawling the site, there appeared two bots associated with OpenAI and ChatGPT. i thought the board is behind Anubis to protect us against them. Has the fiend somehow broken through?

The display is purely UA-based, so anyone spoofing as a bot will be listed as such and treated like a bot (which is fine if you don't want to actually interact with an account).
But, I'll keep an eye on it and adjust policies as-necessary.

The amazing website Size Of, with which I have become acquainted a few minutes ago, describes how to shut ChatGPT scrapers out. I offer this in the hope it might help if needed.
