Nice! This should help in making my stuff as inaccessible as possible to agents.

  Are you mainly concerned about scraping? or anti-agents in general?

    what is the benefit of making any resource more available to agents?

    Behind an agent is a human that might use the product. I think customers/consumers will demand that their personal/subscription agent can access the product.

    As someone that works for a company that gets a 100% score on ax-check, all the effort I've put into making it accessible for agents has not 10xed the growth numbers like I was told it would.

    The Ai growth looks more like the very-long-term 2% (technically productivity growth from innovation), avoid assuming the hypesters are even close to accurate in their predictions

    yeah, it looks more like parasitic exponetials, the same way when google started being the source for things instead of the portal.
    No ones shown there's any real ROI in a more virulent intermediary that has even less reason to view ads.

    Good riddance?
    Very happy to have my agent totally ignore the ads trying to hijack my attention.

    The ROI is for we the users, not the companies, only issues is that the agent's attention is way easier to hijack, so you have to maintain a different kind of attention when using them and never blindly trust their outputs.
