Article summary:
Google has released a PSA on Twitter saying that if you have an AI chatbot on your site and you don't want its output to be seen as a part of your site for indexing, you should use a robotted iframe, a robotted JavaScript file/resource, or use data-nosnippet to block it in the snippet. John Mueller is not saying that it is a bad thing to have your AI chatbot content discoverable by Google Search, but if you don't trust the output of that content, it is best to block it.
