Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall

For a lot of AI search I actually end up reading the pages, so I don’t know hope much this stops that

You’re the outlier, I promise. People are literally forfeiting their brains in favor of an LLM transplant hese days.

On the flip side, most websites are so ad-ridden these days a reader mode or other summary tool is almost required for normal browsing. Not saying that AI is the right move, but I can understand not wanting to visit the actual page any more.

Firefox with uBlock Origin works perfectly fine and pages load faster without the ads!

Maybe I missed something, but ublock still works very fine for me, even on mobile. And running a pihole, while not trivial, also takes care of some ad traffic. Firefox coems with a reader mode (a feature I really like even with the adblockers!).
So why do people not want to visit pages anymore, if all these tools already existed?
