What Jamie wrote
In general folks don't believe you should write viruses that attack other viruses. The ethics being don't run unknown software on someones device even if it is attempting to do a good thing. There’s also the tactic of running ‘honeypots’, servers that are configured in a way to attract bad actors and then use those actions to label them or possibly block them. Is this new thing from Cloudflare running software without permission? No. Is it a honeypot? Hmm, not really? It might be closest to that. Is this a good idea? I’m on the fence, but I’m also less hostile to AI agents indexing my website. Here is the announcement from Cloudflare.
