There’s a suit over google in general so this may well be part of it

That’s all well and good, but how many LLMs do you think actually respect robots.txt?

Perhaps, likely depends on the crawler though

this is actually quite recent. the old one was much funnier and clearly had actual soul put into it.

I refuse to believe this was considered funny when it was written

Other google things that haven’t changed in several eons include:

• Basically anything to do with reporting anything
• The email google sends you when you report an ad (from about 2013-2015, it looks like)
• Anything to do with reporting malicious web pages (that stuff hasn’t changed since 2007, you can check it out at https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ for the main page and https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_general/ for the Firefox/IE toolbar they haven’t had in years if you want)

It was to report a bug in their email system involving unwanted emails (for instance if they continued sending you email after you unsubscribed from it).

Yep, I noticed that as well. Google has diversified to another industry though recently: AI spam.
