| AI bots (or clients claiming to be one) appear quite fast on new sites, at least that's what I saw recently in few places. They probably monitor Certificate Transparency logs - you won't hide by avoiding linking. Unless you are ok with staying in the shadow of naked http. |

| ▲ | RIMR 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Okay, but then what? Host your sites on something other than 'www' or '*', exclude them from search engines, and never link to them? Then, the few people who do resolve these subdomains, you just gotta hope they don't do it using a DNS server owned by a company with an AI product (like Google, Microsoft, or Amazon)? I really don't know how you're supposed to shield your content from AI without also shielding it from humanity. |

| I posted my site on the thread. My site is hosted on Cloudflare and I trust its protection way more than flavor of the month method. This probably won't be patched anytime soon but I'd rather have some people click my link and not just avoid it along with AI because it looks fishy :) |

| ▲ | treebeard901 11 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I've been considering how feasible it would be to build a modern form of the denial of service low orbit ion cannon by having various LLMs hammer sites until they break. I'm sure anything important already has Cloudflare style DDOS mitigation so maybe it's not as effective. Still, I think it's only a matter of time before someone figures it out. There have been several amplification attacks using various protocols for DDOS too... | |
| ▲ | devsda 8 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yeah I meant using it as an experiment to test with two different links(or domains) and not as a solution to evade bot traffic. Still, I think it would be interesting to know if anybody noticed a visible spike in bot traffic(especially AI) after sharing their site info in that thread. | | | |
| ▲ | pawelduda 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | FYI Cloudflare protection doesn't mean much nowadays if someone is slightly determined to scrape the site Unless you mean DDoS protection, this one helps for sure |

| Glad I’m not the only one who felt icky seeing that post. I agree my tinfoil hat signal told me this was the perfect way to ask people for bespoke, hand crafted content - which of course AI will love to slurp up to keep feeding the bear. |

| I think that something specifically intended for this, like Anubis, is a much better option. |
| |
| ▲ | subscribed 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Anubis flatly refuses me access to several websites when I'm accessing them with a normal Chromium with enabled JS and whatnot, from a mainstream, typical OS, just with aggressive anti-tracking settings. Not sure if that's the intended use case. At least Cloudflare politely masks for CAPTCHA. |

| Of course, the downside is that people might not even see your site at all because they’re afraid to click on that suspicious link. |

| How is AI viewing content any different from Google? I don’t even use Google anymore because it’s so filled with SEO trash as to be useless for many things. |
