Hi, please would you add a catregory in the Metadata that gives 2 options:

AI use permitted.
AI use probitied.

Current use of AI crawlers scraping images from my website is, in my view, illegal and immoral. As professional photographers we have to expend time, effort and resources to capture the images we do. I would like to see more effort in the protection of our work. The way you select this option should be recognised by the AI industry and their software should abide by the instruction if the AI Prohibited option is selected. This should be in addition to altering robots.txt on websites.

    The problem is real, but there's no way to do anything about it through metadata.
