AI-training usage group conflicts with another declaration

What it detects
The draft AIPREF '__usage_ai-training' group in robots.txt disagrees with another AI-training declaration on the same site (the Google-Extended group or the Content-Signal ai-train value).
Why it matters
Two declarations of one preference that disagree leave a crawler to pick either. The usage vocabulary is an unfinished draft, so this is informational: it names both sources and judges neither.
How to fix
- Decide one AI-training preference and state it the same way everywhere: the draft `__usage_ai-training` robots group, the `Google-Extended` group and the `Content-Signal` `ai-train` value. - Remove the declaration you do not mean; a vendor-specific group (e.g. `Google-Extended`) already takes precedence over the usage group for that vendor. - Verify: fetch /robots.txt and confirm the three declarations agree.
Example
User-agent: __usage_ai-training Disallow: / User-agent: Google-Extended Allow: /
