@chrysn that's what I'm expecting. Most AI venture capital backed companies seem to care very little about the social contracts we have. So turning a browser into a remote controlled crawler would not surprise me the least.

@claudius I'd hope that their users sooner or later notice that when using that browser, all of a sudden they frequently face error pages rather than content. As soon as it's not user driven any more, we're "just" back to the usual DDoS whack-a-mole, and whenever we win that for some time, their user experience suffers.

@claudius @chrysn I am pretty sure a lot of the AI apps for phone already do that. I saw a lot of AI crawl traffic coming from mobile provider IP addresses.
