AI Fuck Off!!

Recently, I learned about something called a "robot.txt" file. Currently reading about it on wikipedia. I'm still working on setting it up. I feel like I need more information before I can upload it, though. I'm not familiar with whatever coding language all this uses. Hell, I'm still new at HTML and CSS! I can edit a config file for a minecraft mod, and the color for the javascript cursor sparkles on this page. But that's about the extent of my current coding knowledge. At least as of August 25, 2025.

I want this file on my website to get any AI scraping bots to leave my site the fuck alone. I came to neocities to get away from all that generative AI bullshit!!

Not only is generative AI primarily theft, but also rife with misinformation when used for chat. That's not even covering the environmental impact! Like dude, a computer should not be using that much water! People need that shit!! It should NOT be a hot take that human lives are more important than generative AI! It's just so wasteful; and for what?? A few shitty images of Jesus as fruit? Word-vomit books that copy the writing style of actual authors? Spam bots? Be for real!

GhatGPT is not your therapist. It's not your friend. Character AI bots are shallow echoes of actual passionate roleplay & fanfiction. Whatever image generator of the week is nothing compared to the love & care of human artists. Even the shittiest of art is better than that slop because a person made it. I don't want your damn AI feature. I don't want it organizing tabs, I don't want it giving summaries, and I certainly don't want it using my works or face. Fuck that.

I shouldn't have to write up a fucking txt file to make it clear that I don't consent to my shit getting scraped!! But here we are. Here I am, struggling with a file that's essentially the digital equivelant of a note taped to my bedroom door that says "NO ROBOTZ ALLOWED!!"

It's an infuriating experience to have to protect all your works from AI using all this shit. Even if I did start using Nightshade or Glaze, that wouldn't protect the shit I've already made. Do you know how difficult it would be to take down, poison, and reupload the art I've posted online for well over a decade??

I'm genuinely frustrated. I shouldn't have to write that file. I shouldn't have to poison my art. I shouldn't need an ad blocker to make the internet bearable. I shoudn't have to carry a pocket knife when walking alone. It's the same goddamn arguments over and over again. I'm just so tired.
