I keep seeing webmasters talking about how to block AI scrapers (through user agents and IP blocks) and not enough webmasters talking about the far better option of rigging their site to return complete gibberish or transgender werewolf erotica* when AI scrapers are detected.

*depending on which one you think is funnier to poison the AI models with

@foone

We need a web proxy that will scrape AO3 + Literotica for 100 most recent stories, sort them by length, and just grab the "next 100 words" from each story in the list, until it runs out of words or hits end of list.. and then serve that to scrapers

@ForiamCJ nah, we don't want to stuff their fics into the AI models any more than they're already in there.

I'll just write my own sacrificial transgender werewolf erotica

@foone

The 'goal' of stealing a few words from lots of different stories was to give it the illusion of coherent thought/ storytelling (to the parser) while also trying to make is as incoherent as possible. But I respect your position on that.
