What is the issue you’re encountering

Does selecting the Block AI bots option stop the search engines from indexing the website?

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

There is a note in Cloudflare stating
Note: Blocking AI Bots will also block verified AI bots.

What verified AI bots are blocked? Does this include google and bing?

Hi,

Enabling the Block AI Bots option in Cloudflare does not prevent search engines such as Google and Bing from crawling your website. It exclusively blocks AI-related crawlers.

It disables verified AI bots, which are commonly used for AI model training and data scraping, but will not impact traditional search engine crawlers.

You can check Cloudflare Radar for verified bot list.

Thank you for your help.
Are the verified AI bots used only for AI model training and data scraping? Or could they assist in bringing traffic to a website?
