About 3 weeks ago I decided to block openai bots from my websites as they kept scanning it even after I explicity stated on my robots.txt that I don't want them to.

I already checked if there's any syntax error, but there isn't.

So after that I decided to block by User-agent just to find out they sneakily removed the user agent to be able to scan my website.

Now i'll block them by IP range, have you experienced something like that with AI companies?

I find it annoying as I spend hours writing high quality blog articles just for them to come and do whatever they want with my content.
