Web sites are being increasingly beset by AI scraperbots - a problem that we
have
written about before, and which has slowly
ramped up to an occasional de-facto DDoS attack. This has not gone
uncontested, however: web site operators from around the world have been working
on
inventive countermeasures. These solutions target the problem posed by
scraperbots in different ways;

iocaine, a MIT-licensed nonsense generator, is designed
to make scraped text less useful by poisoning it with fake data. The hope is to
make running scraperbots not economically viable, and thereby address the
problem at its root instead of playing an eternal game of Whac-A-Mole.
