for sure that's been becoming more of a thing for a while now, which begs the questions of whether peeps who block AI crawlers from their websites aren't actually shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to appearing in 'new' search
for wp alone there are a ton of plugins that have an option like that for at least some AI crawlers built in. I think with the rationale that doing so would help combat plagiarism
before I installed a browser extension to block those AI overviews from appearing in search queries (nothing against AI, just a massive waste of water/resources) I saw that the overviews were grabbed from websites, and did include links to the sites
for basic queries probs most peeps would never actually click through to the 'source' websites, but still could be a factor for some click throughs at least
I realize AI overviews in browsers are different from the first screencap you posted re performing queries using an AI program, but still def something for site owners to consider in weighing pros and cons of what to block
the output in your second screencap was interesting, advising one to search on pornhub and 'oh, btw, would you like me to grab you some specific vid titles?'
someone needs to train these LLMs to recommend one pay for their fucking porn, dammit
