Imagine playing the AI agent and scraper cat-and-mouse game all for Cloudflare to block them all by default all to navigate web pages and waste millions worth of tokens just to operate a computer.
The move by Cloudflare will totally ruin the AI scraper and the AI agent hype.
- oceanplexian 1y agoI don’t see how CloudFlare is going to realistically block someone who is trying hard enough. They’ll just get the agent to operate a browser with vision and it’s over. CAPTCHAs were already obsolete like 2-3 years ago.
- rsanek 1y agothey don't have to make it impossible, just expensive enough for it to not be worth it. using vision is a perfect example.
- iphone_elegance 1y agoEh, if you control the browser or provide a good plugin you can just have users scrape for you
- OccamsMirror 1y agoThe funny thing is that a lot of people want the AI to scrape their public website. The same people that likely wrote all of their marketing content with ChatGPT.
