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.
  
  To some extent that's true, but anyone who builds network software of any kind without timeouts defined is not very good at their job. If this traps anything, it wasn't good to begin with, AI aside.
  
  Leave your doors unlocked at home then. If your lock stops anyone, they weren't good thieves to begin with. 🙄
  
  I believe you misread their comment. They are saying if you leave your doors unlocked your part of the problem. Because these ai lock picks only look for open doors or they know how to skip locked doors
  
  They said this tool is useless because of how trivial it is to work around.
  
  My apologies, i thought your reply was against @Xartle s comment.
  They basically said the addition protection is not necessary because common security measures cover it.
  
  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.
- Reflexive contrarianism isn't a good look.
  
  It's not contrarianism. It's just pointing out a "cool new tech to stop AI" is actually just useless media bait.
