The main difference is rather than an AI platform passively being fed data to learn from (the \u201ctraining set,\u201d if you will), a bot can actively pursue information on the web by crawling various pages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Large language models (LLMs) scour these websites in an attempt to understand the world around us. Google\u2019s C4 data set makes up a large portion (15.7 million sites) of the learning body for these LLMs. They also crawl other authoritative, informative sites like Wikipedia and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The more sites these bots can crawl, the more they learn and the better they can become. Why, then, are companies blocking GPTBot from crawling?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-brands-that-block-gptbot-have-valid-fears\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_brands_that_block_GPTBot_have_valid_fears\"><\/span>Do brands that block GPTBot have valid fears?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When I first read about companies blocking GPTBot from crawling their websites, I was confused and surprised. <\/p>\n<p>To me, it seemed incredibly short-sighted. But I figured there must be a lot to consider that I wasn\u2019t thinking deeply enough about.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After researching and talking to agency professionals with legal backgrounds, I found the biggest reasons.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lack-of-compensation-for-their-proprietary-training-data\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lack_of_compensation_for_their_proprietary_training_data\"><\/span>Lack of compensation for their proprietary training data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many brands block GPTBot from crawling their site because they don\u2019t want their data used in training its models without compensation. While I can understand wanting a piece of their <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/chatgpt-owner-openai-projects-1-billion-revenue-by-2024-sources-2022-12-15\/\">$1 billion pie<\/a>, I think this is a short-sighted view.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT, much like Google and YouTube, is an answer engine for the world. Preventing your content from being crawled by GPTBot might limit your brand\u2019s reach to a smaller set of internet users in the future.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-security-concerns\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security_concerns\"><\/span>Security concerns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another reason behind the anti-GPTBot sentiment is security.

All websites should have a privacy disclaimer outlining how they use the data collected by their services. Attorneys say this language must also state that a generative AI third-party platform could crawl the data collected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If not, any personally identifiable information (PII) or customer data could still be \u201cpublic\u201d and expose brands to a Section 5 Federal Trade Commission (FTC) claim for unfair and deceptive trade practices.<\/p>\n<p>I get this concern to some degree. If you\u2019re the legal department of a big-name brand, one of your primary objectives is to keep your company out of hot water. But this legal concern <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lies more to what\u2019s <strong>input <\/strong>into<strong> <\/strong>ChatGPT rather than what GPTBot crawls.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anything input into OpenAI\u2019s platform becomes part of its data bank and has the potential to be shared with other users \u2013 leading to data leakage. However, this would likely only happen if users asked questions relative to stored information.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is another unwarranted concern to me because it can all be resolved by responsible internet usage. The same data principles we\u2019ve used since the dawn of the web still ring true \u2013 don\u2019t input any information you don\u2019t want shared.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-impulse-to-save-humanity-from-ai-advancement\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_impulse_to_save_humanity_from_AI_advancement\"><\/span>An impulse to save humanity from AI advancement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I can\u2019t help but think that leaders at some of these brands blocking GPTBot have a bias against the advancement of AI technology. <\/p>\n<p>We often fear what we don\u2019t understand, and some are frightened by the idea of artificial intelligence gaining <em>too <\/em>much<em> <\/em>knowledge and becoming <em>too <\/em>powerful.<\/p>\n<p>While AI is evolving rapidly and beginning to \u201cthink\u201d more deeply, humans are still largely in control.

Let\u2019s look on the bright side with these three primary benefits of embracing OpenAI\u2019s bot technology.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-100-million-people-use-chatgpt-each-week\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_100_million_people_use_ChatGPT_each_week\"><\/span>1. 100 million people use ChatGPT each week<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>By not allowing GPTBot to crawl your site, there\u2019s a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/11\/6\/23948386\/chatgpt-active-user-count-openai-developer-conference\">100 million-person audience<\/a> you\u2019re missing out on maximizing brand visibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sharing access to your website content can help ensure your brand is both factually and positively represented to ChatGPT users.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This means there\u2019s a higher chance that your brand will actually be recommended by ChatGPT, leading to more traffic and potential customers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some brands <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theinformation.com\/articles\/how-to-grease-a-chatbot-e-commerce-companies-seek-a-backdoor-into-ai-responses\">report<\/a> getting 5% of their overall leads, or $100,000 in monthly subscription revenue from ChatGPT. I know our agency has already gotten some leads from ChatGPT, too.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to consider this is as a positive digital PR (DPR) play. You should leverage DPR strategies like brand mention campaigns in today\u2019s landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Permitting GPTBot to crawl your site only adds to these efforts by allowing ChatGPT to access your brand information directly from the source and distribute it to 100 million users positively.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-generative-engine-optimization-geo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Generative_engine_optimization_GEO\"><\/span>2.

Like all new technologies and trends in our industry, those slow to embrace AI as a conduit for new business and brand exposure will miss the proverbial boat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>GEO is picking up steam as a sub-practice of SEO. You\u2019ll miss a significant opportunity if you\u2019re not targeting some of your marketing efforts to be in this marketplace.
