Now AI blocking will get you more precise control over your website! Now AI crawlers will be allowed to grab your website! But don't worry! They promised and pinky swore they wouldn't train any AI on your data. So your data is protected!

Isn't that great!!?

It's annoying that Cloudflare is basically facilitating / enabling the proliferation of the "zero click" internet that a handful of the worlds richest people are so keen on... And while they are encouraging site owners to hold the door open for AI, Cloudflare continues to punish actual human website visitors with their "are you human" barriers to entry. It would be nice if some of the people running it actually valued the internet a little bit ffs.

Years of site load optimizations only to see it all gone by having a 20 second wait time before every other damn website. Thanks AI bros, I truly enjoy it

I hate cloudflare's anti-bot, it's so slow and buggy. Sometimes it won't load the site I wanted to, return me back to the previous one and manipulate history so now I need to press back twice or more to get out

"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.
