1 user-triggered fetch is blocked while the same operator may still collect content
ChatGPT-User is blocked while OAI-SearchBot may crawl.
ChatGPT-UserOpenAIL37
A ChatGPT user opening this page
"Disallow: /" blocks ChatGPT-User.
If that is the intention. If your intention is to block AI entirely, this configuration does not achieve it: the content is still being collected.
Consequence. This is the opposite of what either intent would produce. Blocking bulk collection while allowing people through is a common position; allowing bulk collection while turning away someone who asked for the page is not one anyone sets out to take. It usually means a rule aimed at AI crawlers named the wrong user agent.
If that is not intended. Decide which way round it should be. To keep people out but content in, no change is needed — but that is rarely the intent. To block collection instead, disallow the collecting agents named here and allow the user-triggered ones.

2 of 4 AI answer engines are blocked
Blocked: PerplexityBot, Google-Extended.
PerplexityBotPerplexityL37
Perplexity answers
"Disallow: /" blocks PerplexityBot.
Google-ExtendedGoogleL37
Google AI Overviews and Gemini grounding
"Disallow: /" blocks Google-Extended.
If that is the intention. If your intention is to keep the site out of AI-generated answers, the current configuration achieves that for these crawlers — the rest of the group is still allowed.
Consequence. The site cannot be cited as a source in AI-generated answers. Unlike training crawlers these send referral traffic, so blocking them forfeits those visits.
If that is not intended. Remove the matching Disallow rule, or allow these agents on the sections you want cited.

Blocked: ChatGPT-User.
ChatGPT-UserOpenAIL37
A ChatGPT user opening this page
"Disallow: /" blocks ChatGPT-User.
If that is the intention. If your intention is to prevent assistants from fetching pages when a person asks for them, the current configuration achieves that for these crawlers — the rest of the group is still allowed.
Consequence. When someone asks an assistant to open a page on this site, it cannot be retrieved. These requests are made because a person asked for that specific page, not to collect content in bulk.
If that is not intended. Allow these agents globally, or only on the sections you want retrievable.
Info
3 of 6 AI training crawlers are blocked
Blocked: GPTBot, Bytespider, CCBot.

"Disallow: /" blocks GPTBot.

ByteDance model training
"Disallow: /" blocks Bytespider.
CCBotCommon CrawlL37
Common Crawl, widely redistributed as training data
"Disallow: /" blocks CCBot.
If that is the intention. If your intention is to prevent this content being used as model training data, the current configuration achieves that for these crawlers — the rest of the group is still allowed.
Consequence. These crawlers cannot retrieve content from the site, so it will not be collected as training data. They send no traffic back, and blocking them does not affect search rankings.
If that is not intended. Remove the site-wide block, or replace it with narrower path restrictions.
