Following The New York Times, mainstream media like CNN and Reuters begin blocking OpenAI's web crawler GPTBot

Following The New York Times, mainstream media outlets such as CNN and Reuters have also begun to block OpenAI's GPTBot web crawler, restricting its continued access to their content. GPTBot may scan web content to improve OpenAI's artificial intelligence models, but media outlets are concerned that their content could be misused. Google, on the other hand, advises media organizations to independently choose whether to allow AI systems to access their content for training purposes.
