> Today, we’re excited to announce AI Labyrinth, a new mitigation approach that uses AI-generated content to slow down, confuse, and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and other bots that don’t respect “no crawl” directives.

> No real human would go four links deep into a maze of AI-generated nonsense.

... I would. Out of curiosity and amusement I would most definitely do that. Not every time, and not many times, but I would definitely do that one or a few times.

> It is important to us that we don’t generate inaccurate content that contributes to the spread of misinformation on the Internet, so the content we generate is real and related to scientific facts, just not relevant or proprietary to the site being crawled.

In that case wouldn't it be faster and easier to restyle the CSS of wikipedia pages?
