There are numerous reports that Google may be using a more generic and undocumented Googlebot, Google crawler. The crawler user agent is just named "Google," and it is not listed in any of the documented crawlers that Google has provided.

    Can we get rid of the current model where websites are financed by ads and have instead these AI companies pay the websites they crawl?

    I could really do with less ads if they are going to crawl the web anyway.

    Probably just a misconfigured bot and nothing special.
