For the record, I'm not faulting Cloudflare here. I'm not a fan of them, but I do understand the appeal, and in this case, they're serving the greater good with this optional feature. It's the underlying reason for that which is where "Fuck AI" comes in.

Cloudflare is locking lower end devices and people with accessibility needs from the bulk of the web. The open web is shrinking every day and Cloudflare is the one eating it. AI scraping is the excuse they're using to destroy the open web.

There are other ways of dealing with AI scrapers that don't result in 100% of human beings having to regularly "prove" they're human.
