Who read this page?

A website learns which AI assistant sent a visitor from a label on the click, and for five days in October ChatGPT's links carried none. In our lab, every assistant that read the page live could be identified from its own requests, three of them while passing for a browser. On client sites, a usable read came before only about one ChatGPT click in a hundred.
