keep away AI bots from scanning websites

Specifically: Scrapers operated by individuals rather than big, important companies. On one hand, this significantly cuts down on the volume of scraping. On the other, it restricts control of the AI market to a select class of people who are important enough to get by the bot protection.

The root problem, obviously, is that the "AI market" is generally directed at that select class.

AI bad or good?

AI good. Non-rich people bad.

The main selling point of that feature is to charge for access to scraping websites.

They don't care that your website gets scraped, they care about getting paid when someone does it.

I’ve recently found it ironic that cloudfire classifies me as human based on how I sort AI generated images, presumably as judged by AI.

Obviously, its a non-binary answer.

Besides which, why wouldnt they make money preventing other people from scraping websites, while scraping the traffic that flows through their network.
