WordPress is preparing to sell user data to Midjourney and OpenAI, according to a source with internal knowledge about the deals and internal documentation referring to the deals.

I would like to opt out of WordPress selling my data to AI websites. How can I do that?

This is a breach of my data and I will not allow my website to train any AI.

WordPress isn’t submitting your content to AI’s.

You’re thinking of WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/blog/2024/02/27/more-control-over-the-content-you-share/

To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/difference-between-wordpress-org-and-wordpress-com/

If you do have a WordPress.com site, instructions are in that post.

If you have a regular WordPress site and want to block AI’s, different AI providers have different ways to block their bots, for example here are the instructions for OpenAI/ChatGPT: https://platform.openai.com/docs/gptbot

I can’t vouche for the accuracy of this site, but it seems to be fairly complete list: https://darkvisitors.com/robots-txt-builder

Hi James,

Thank you so much for your reply and for clearing that up, I am so glad to hear it’s not WordPress.org that is doing this. The news is not verifying if it was WP.com or WP.org who was involved.

I’ll be sure to take the recommended precautions.

Thank you!
