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.

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

Yes, but you want actual solutions. Using ducktape on a door instead of an actual lock isn't going to help you at all.

I worked at a major tech company in 2018 who didn't take security seriously because that was literally their philosophy, just refusing to do anything until it was an absolute perfect security solution, and everything else is wasted resources.

I left since then and I continue to see them on the news for data leaks.

Small brain people man.

Pff, a closed door never stopped a criminal that wants to break in. Our corporate policy is no doors at all. Takes less time to get where you need to go, so our employees don't waste precious seconds they could instead be using to generate profits.

So many companies let perfect become the enemy of good and it's insane. Recently some discussion about trying to get our team to use a consistent formatting scheme devolved into this type of thing. If the thing being proposed is better than what we currently have, let's implement it as is then if you have concerns about ways to make it better let's address those later in another iteration.

Reflexive contrarianism isn't a good look.
