OpenAI publishes IP ranges for their bots, https://github.com/greyhat-academy/lists.d/blob/main/scraper...

For antisocial scrapers, there's a Wordpress plugin, https://kevinfreitas.net/tools-experiments/

> The words you write and publish on your website are yours. Instead of blocking AI/LLM scraper bots from stealing your stuff why not poison them with garbage content instead? This plugin scrambles the words in the content on blog post and pages on your site when one of these bots slithers by.

I imagine these companies today are curing their data with LLMs, this stuff isn't going to do anything.
