Acting like a human is something scapers already do. Using residential proxies, using latest Chrome user agents, not moving/typing as fast, etc. This is just 1 more layer, moving mouse naturally.

And at some point they'll just use slave labor in some country with lax laws around all that.

I'm not sure if I'm talking about the scrapers or Cloudflare at this point. Probably both. Probably the same pool of forced laborers.

		A return to the "Mechanical Turk". I remember using Amazon's Mechanical Turk for just this purpose a decade ago. With other players in the gig economy really squeezing the workers at the bottom of the system, it could easily get to a point where sitting in front of a computer performing tasks allocated by AI which needs a meat puppet to get around AI-powered Anti-AI might become economically attractive.
