(This is a joke about the irony of you using AI and also making a tool that fights AI scrapers. It’s purely meant to be funny and not meant as a criticism!)

@alwayscurious Buddy, I recognize the irony; however I am recovering from major surgery (I'm not allowed to sit normally until late May) and only have so much energy in the fucking day. I need to get this shit done. I have to use every tool available to me to get this done before the deadline or I get massive fines.

Additionally, I'm actually somewhat centrist on the use of generative AI and am trying to ride the gravy train of AI companies giving me free shit for some reason and determine for myself if there's actually something fundamentally useful in that tooling. So far I'm finding a bunch of things useful enough that I'd be willing to pay for them (especially because all those costs then become taxable business expenses which save me money on my yearly tax filings, which suck because GitHub Sponsors and/or Patreon).

Please kill the image you have of me in your head. The reality is starkly different.
