I don’t remember who was looking for a way to block A.I bots/scrappers. But here’s an article by Cloudflare “Declare your AIndependence: block AI bots, scrapers and crawlers with a single click” offering a way to do so even for the ones spoofing their User-Agent and such.
So basically it seems that Cloudflare has enough data that they can do machine learning to figure out whether the traffic behavior and patterns of bots even ones that fake their identity are really bots or not right?
Not sure how this can be applied for self hosters?
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com @prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net They’re also AI-ing this, so I doubt that it really works. Just another shit show to lure more people into routing the traffic through Clownflare in my opinion.

That would be quite ironic. Using “AI” to fight “AI”, huh? 🤪
(I haven’t read the article in depth, because I don’t use Cloudflare.)
