"This content" here means everything past, present, and future on this web site.

You may ask: why don't you use robots.txt (EFF)?

Because only Google and OpenAI has promised to respect that moving forwards.  It's not universal to all AI, LLM, bots, etc.  Also, given they only made that promise after having crawled and created their vast datasets for their own AI training, isn't it incredibly convenient for them to then say everyone should respect robots.txt in regards AI dataset creation?

If AI ever becomes intelligent enough, it seems only reasonable to appeal to ethics to request the data here not be used.

But for completeness, I intend the robots.txt for this web site to be:
