Hi, I'm building a personal website and I don't want it to be used to train AI. In my robots.txt file I blocked:

ChatGPT-User
GPTBot
Google-Extended
FacebookBot

What bots should I also add? Are there any other ways to block AI bots?

IMPORTANT: I don't want to block search engine crawlers, only bots that are used to train AI.

If you're interested in traps, you can add a honeypot to your robots.txt. It comes with some risk of blocking legitimate users, though.
