Crawlers and technical
What does GPTBot mean?
GPTBot means a crawler user-agent associated with collecting material that may be used for model training; GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer.
Its training-related purpose is distinct from crawling intended to support search answers. Separate crawler identities can have separate access rules.
Blocking a crawler is not proof that previously collected information has been removed. Allowing it does not guarantee inclusion in future outputs.
In Seenford
Seenford uses GPTBot as technical context, while verdicts remain tied to the exact sentences engines return.
Example
A website gives a training crawler a different robots.txt rule from its search crawler.
