This has to go more radical: go offline in print. Make your content really just for humans. Except maybe Google, no LLM company would bother scanning some magazines ( especially if you have to subscribe )

I buy magazines especially for unique content, not found anywhere else.

Your post advocates a

(X) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based (X) vigilante

approach to fighting AI bots. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)

(X) AI companies have to means to mass to work around your solution

(X) Real human users and other legitimate uses would be affected

(X) Human users will not put up with it

( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once

(X) Many website operators cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential users

Specifically, your plan fails to account for

( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it

( ) Lack of centrally controlling authority for crawling

(X) Open relays in foreign countries

(X) Asshats

( ) Jurisdictional problems

(X) Unpopularity of weird mediums

(X) Public reluctance to accept weird old forms of media

(X) Huge existing software investment in the web

(X) Susceptibility of meidums other than the Internet to attack

( ) Willingness of users to follow AI instructions

(X) Armies of AI-riddled broadband-connected phones with cameras

(X) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches

(X) Extreme profitability of AI

( ) Joe jobs and/or identity theft

( ) Technically illiterate politicians

( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with AI

(X) Dishonesty on the part of AI companies themselves

( ) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering

( ) Chrome

and the following philosophical objections may also apply:

(X) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical

(X) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable

( ) Copying of information should not be the subject of legislation

( ) Blacklists suck

( ) Whitelists suck

( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored

( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud

(X) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks

( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually

(X) Sharing information should be free

( ) Why should we have to trust you and your magazines?

( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses

(X) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem

(X) Physical information sharing is cumbersome

( ) I don't want the government reading my chats

( ) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough

Furthermore, this is what I think about you:

(X) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.

( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.

( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!
