| I dont think they're doing this to kill off browser engines; they're trying to sift browsers into "user" and "AI slop", so they can prioritize users. This is entirely web crawler 2.0 apocolypse. |

| ▲ | baq 17 hours ago | parent [-] | | That’s one of the few reasons to leave the house. I’d like dishes and laundry bots first, please. | | |
| ▲ | dodslaser 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | You mean dishwashers and washing machines? | | |
| ▲ | baq 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yes, but no. I want a robot to load and unload those. | | |
| ▲ | dec0dedab0de 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | I have been paying my local laundromat to do mu laundry for over a decade now, it’s probably cheaper than youre imagining and sooo worth it. | | |
| ▲ | baq 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | my household is 6 people, it isn't uncommon to run 3 washing machine loads in a day and days without at least one are rare. I can imagine the convenience, but at this scale it sounds a bit unreasonable. dishwasher runs at least once a day, at least 80% full, every day, unless we're traveling. |

| I think "slop" only refers to the output of generative AI systems. bot, crawler, scraper, or spider would be a more apt term for software making (excessive) requests to collect data. |
