Great, another thing I have to block server side. Reminds me of the image leech protections that had to be in place because bandwidth was expensive. History doesn’t repeat but rhymes as they say.
Yep. It will be interesting to see if things move that way or not. AI scraping might get annoying but a lot of sites (eg e-commerce) have obvious incentives to allow AIs to scrape them for free (or even pay AI companies to prioritize them, like they already do with Google).
