I wonder whether this lib could/would add support to detect AI bots, so crawlers which are used to feed AI engines.
I found a repo which lists most of them: https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt

maybe thats something which could be used for/with crawler-detect?

Hmmm, interesting suggestion.

Would you see our current isCrawler() method returning true for these AI bots, with a new additional method called something like isAiBot()?

Open to implementation suggestions here 👍

I think a separate method would be good, as I think some users might be interested in 'whatever' definition this lib had of a crawler before.

AI bots are a different class which might need different handling IMO
