Translation for humans
The robots.txt file, which tells bots where not to go on a website, was born in June 1994 out of a simple consensus among a few enthusiasts on a mailing list. The original text itself warned that it was not an official standard: just a convention that each robot follows if it feels like it. It only became a real standard in 2022. Meanwhile, AI crawlers arrived, and many of them read it as a suggestion.
