Yeah it's definitely changed the internet. All of sudden every site is behind anti-bot garbage (usually Cloudflare). Sites I use (like Sourcehut) are getting DDOS'd by AI scrapers. It might be a wee bit reductive to say that AI is destroying the internet, but this certainly is the death of the open internet. AI has just handed a huge amount of power to companies like Cloudflare and made it that much more difficult to avoid being tracked.
