it does at a macroscopic level by making scraping expensive. If every "valid" page is scattered at random amongst a tarpit of recursive pages of nonsense, it becomes computationally and temporaly expensive to scrape a site for "good" data. A single site doing this does nothing. But many sites doing this has a severe negative impact on the utility of AI scrapers - at least, until a countermeasure is developed.
