It’s already hard enough for self-hosters and small online communities to deal with spam from fleshbags, now we’re being swarmed by clankers. I have a little Mediawiki to document my deranged maladaptive daydreams worldbuilding and conlanging projects, and the only traffic besides me is likely AI crawlers.
I hate this so much. It’s not enough that huge centralized platforms have the network effect on their side, they have to drown our quiet little corners of the web under a whelming flood of soulless automata.

Anubis is supposed to filter out and block all those bots from accessing your webpage.
Iocaine, nepenthes, and/or madore’s book of infinity are intended to redirect them into a maze of randomly generated bullshit, which still consumes resources but is intended to poison the bots’ training data.
So pick your poison
