GlyphI am writing a blog post about why it is bad to use AI. It is extremely heavily sourced. I have a tedious automation problem formatting my citations. No problem, I think. I will write a computer program. The computer program does not work, because websites are blocking simple computer programs in an effort to block AI. Solution? Simple. Browser comes with AI embedded, browses like a human, has all my cookies. Just ask the AI. It sails through the primitive anti-AI measures easily.
(I did not actually do this. But it is an advertised feature of chrome, and I am pretty sure it would "work", as much as any AI-based solution "works".)
serious question though, is there a requests (or httpx or treq or whatever) compatible selenium driver so that I can write a simple Python CLI that just says "give me URL please" and Safari does all the HTTP traffic so it can get the request body with all my ridiculous CAPTCHAs and news website logins in it
Noah K@glyph ytdlp has some underlying features like this, might be a thing you could import but probably not a public api :)

@coderanger @glyph yeah! There's a feature where you point it at your browser's state directory (which for Firefox you can find in about:profiles) and it can borrow all of your cookies. I've definitely wanted to figure out how to quickly implement this in scripts in the past... But then my attention span jumps out a window...
Hey Gus@nicr9 +1 to Nic’s line of thinking.
Also to Nic’s attention span, this is an uninteresting (to me), very fiddly, very fragile way of accomplishing things.
It’s probably one of your best bets though.
