This tool has two commits that have Made-with: Cursor tags in the commit message.

I used to use a tool that did the exact same thing in around 2000-2002. It was called wpoison and in those days we used it to trap web-crawlers that were harvesting email addresses to add to spam lists.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
