It is all about taking back control. the web site should control the AI conversation. FWIW</p> <p>thanks for any thoughts <a href="https://discover.rootz.global" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://discover.rootz.global</a> or Rootz.global</p> <p>for fun, have you ai tell you about rootz.global and then ask it to tell you about rootz.global/.well-known/ai see which it prefers. :)</p>
