Intrigued By The LLMs.txt

Intrigued by the LLMs.txt file spec. Though not completely supported, I see it as a way to get your site in the AI engines.

I know many people feel that letting the AI engines have your content you’re aiding and abetting bad behavior on the part of these AI companies.

To some extent I agree, but I also want my content to be surfaced in these new AI search engines.

I can see why news publishers wouldn’t want this. But for companies getting the citations before their competitors do that seems ideal.

I need to dig more into the LLMs.txt file and how it works and keep up with it. I’ll report more and I learn more.

It looks like it’s still in its infancy, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
