For 17 days we logged every AI crawler that hit our site and checked each one against the IP range its own operator publishes.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, GoogleOther verify 97 to 100 percent of the time. Blocking them in robots.txt actually works. They publish their addresses and they respect the file.
Then one rented network wore 14 different AI companies' names in 17 days. A second turned "Amazonbot" into generic EC2 65 percent of the time, failing Amazon's own reverse-DNS check. Meta and ByteDance publish no way to verify them at all.
The user-agent is a costume, not an ID card. Opt-out only reaches crawlers that are honest and publish their identity. The rest ignore the sign or fake the name.
Full 17-day breakdown, method, and the raw per-agent tally:
