Cool, but as with most of the anti-AI tricks its completely trivial to work around. So you might stop them for a week or two, but they’ll add like 3 lines of code to detect this and it’ll become useless.
I hate this argument. All cyber security is an arms race. If this helps small site owners stop small bot scrapers, good. Solutions don’t need to be perfect.
To some extent that’s true, but anyone who builds network software of any kind without timeouts defined is not very good at their job. If this traps anything, it wasn’t good to begin with, AI aside.

I bet someone like cloudflare could bounce them around traps across multiple domains under their DNS and make it harder to detect the trap.

Leave your doors unlocked at home then. If your lock stops anyone, they weren’t good thieves to begin with. 🙄
Yes, but you want actual solutions. Using ducktape on a door instead of an actual lock isn’t going to help you at all.
