Can a robots file block AI crawlers?

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a Disallow rule hide a URL from users?
No. The page may still be reachable directly. Robots rules concern crawler access, not access control.
Why should I be careful with broad Disallow rules?
A pattern that is wider than intended can prevent useful pages or assets from being crawled. Review the exact path scope before publishing.
Where should the robots.txt file be uploaded?
It must be placed in the top-level root directory of your website (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt).
