Questions

Should I block AI crawlers?

It is your choice. Blocking training crawlers (GPTBot, Google-Extended) keeps content out of model training. Blocking search crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot) stops AI assistants citing you.

Does Google-Extended affect Google Search?

No. It only controls use of your content in Gemini. Googlebot controls Search and AI Overviews.
