Just remeber that the captcha flood is because AI companies do rogue scraping. Be nice especially to little private sites.
They should just charge a tiny fee, or return Error 402 Payment Required.
Better yet, return bogus pages created by ai to poison the data.
Instead of CAPTCHAs?
Oh boy I can't see this going wrong at all!

Yeah that's exactly what Cloudflare proposed a while back if I'm not mistaken. Not sure if they ever implemented that feature.
