    I dont understand how challenging an AI by asking it to do some heavy computational stuff even makes sense… A computer is literally made to do computations, and AI is just a computer. 🤨

    Wouldn’t it make more sense to challenge the AI with a Voight-Kampff test? Ask it about baseball.

      The scrapers are not actually an ai, they are just dumb scrapers there to get as much textual information as possible.

      If they have to do Anubis tests, that is going to take more time to get the data they scrape. I suspect that they are probably paid per page they provide, so more time per page is less money for them.

      The point is to make scraping expensive enough it isn’t worth the trouble. The only reason AI scrapers are trying to get this data is because it’s cheaper than the alternatives (e.g. generating synthetic data). Once it stops being cheaper, the smart scrapers will stop. The dumb scrapers don’t matter because they don’t have the talent to devise these kind of workarounds.
