I do like feeling like I am part of some grand bot poisoning conspiracy haha. I fight valliantly for The Resistance! I am feeding the slop bots the output of their creation! Even though all I am doing is running someone else's code on my server. Ah, I do love feeling the sense of accomplishment without putting in the work!

Yet I'm very surprised that the bots don't somehow notice that they're being fed garbage. Like the URLs are literal jumbled garbage! Surely they can point their ultra intelligent LLM at this content to figure out I might be running an AI blocker, then leave me the fuck alone?!?. Heck, they don't even need to run an LLM, just check that the URL consists of real words! It is rather telling they'd rather scrape garbage than run a reasonably simple check like this. Almost like they don't give a shit about what they're trying to "build".
