What it is

OpenAI's bulk crawler. Pages it fetches may be used to train future OpenAI foundation models. It is not the bot that puts you in ChatGPT's search results, and blocking it does not remove you from them.

What blocking it costs you

Your content is excluded from training data for future OpenAI models. No effect on ChatGPT search visibility, on citations, or on links a user pastes into ChatGPT.
