How Cloudflare uses generative AI to slow down, confuse, and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and other bots that don’t respect “no crawl” directives.
Imagine a website showing a weather forecast. Maintainers of this page are running a webserver and a service that analyse raw meteorological data to calculate tomorrow’s weather. In exchange they are making money out of ads.
Now there is an AI agent that enters that page on behalf of user, gets the forecast and show it back to user. User never sees an ad, maintainer never sees his revenue. How is that not stealing?
