A Change of Mind

Lawyers, Guns & Money's publication of an article discussing a New York Times profile of Marjorie Taylor Greene, despite not being directly related to AI, highlights the importance of monitoring online content and its potential impact on website traffic. This means that website owners should be aware of the potential for increased AI bot traffic to their sites, particularly if they host or discuss political content. As AI models become more advanced, they may be able to generate more nuanced and human-like discussions, including those related to political figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene. To prepare for this, website owners can take several steps: first, review their llms.txt files to ensure they are up-to-date and accurately reflect the types of AI bots they want to allow or disallow on their sites. Second, consider implementing AI bot tracking tools to monitor traffic and identify potential trends or spikes in bot activity. Finally, website owners should establish clear content policies and guidelines for user-generated content, including discussions of political figures or sensitive topics, to maintain a safe and respectful online environment.
