Support for ai.txt?

Problem/Motivation

Is supporting ai.txt something this module could be interested in or do you see it more fit to create a new module. My (fairly short) research didn't find any modules that do it.

A little background info on what an ai.txt file is. Taken from https://spawning.substack.com/p/aitxt-a-new-way-for-websites-to-set

Ai.txt is a file placed at the root of a website, which selectively restricts or permits access to the site’s content and media–mirroring the widely adopted robots.txt standard. Unlike robots.txt, which is commonly read when a website is crawled, ai.txt is read when a site’s media is downloaded. With ai.txt, website owners can control whether or not their work is used to train new AI models and can continue to use robots.txt to manage permissions for popular search engines.

I get that AI miners easily could ignore this.

Proposed resolution

  • Create a configuration form that allow editors and other users to control what AI's are allowed to data mine.
  • Serve an ai.txt file, just like the robots.txt.

I hope this feature requests is OK to post here. Otherwise, I'm sorry. :)
