@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.

@mike805 @claudius @chrysn there's an entire industry of "scraper reverse proxies" that take your web request and route it through some unsuspecting person's mobile device. A bunch of mobile advertising SDKs include a client for one of these proxy services, so app developers don't even have to have heard of this industry to participate & profit from it.
