What we need is stop fighting robots and start welcoming and helping them. I se zero reasons to oppose robots visiting any website I would build. The only purpose I ever tried disallowed robots for was preventing search engines from indexing incomplete versions or going the paths which really make no sense for them to go. Now I think we should write separate instructions for different kinds of robots: a search engine indexer shouldn't open pages which have serious side-effects (e.g. place an order) or display semi-realtime technical details but an LLM agent may be on a legitimate mission involving this.
