In this episode of Coffee Talk, we dive into the evolving world of AI web crawlers and their rising influence on the internet. For years, traditional search engine bots like Googlebot have led the way in web crawling, but AI bots from companies like OpenAI and Amazon are now surging ahead. These AI crawlers are gathering web data to train language models, yet they pose challenges by consuming server resources without offering direct benefits to website owners. I'll explore how these bots differ from SEO tools, the ethical concerns surrounding them, and why protocols like IndexNow are becoming crucial. As AI bots rapidly grow, could they soon dominate web indexing? Join me as I unpack the implications for website owners and the future of online content.
