Toot

Written by Danny van Kooten on 2025-01-21 at 18:34

Inspired by deliberately malicious software. What about a WordPress plugin that replaces the content with garbage when User-Agent indicates an AI crawler?

Would need some care wrt cache exclusions to ensure rubbish doesn't get cached and then served to everyone though. 😅

@sebastienserre Yeah but this is about deliberately feeding them garbage, potentially speeding up their downfall because they become too unreliable. Garbage in, garbage out.
