Anti AI Scraper on Shared decks

[NameLessGO]

Recently there has been a rise of AI scrapers overloading open source infrastructures and causing headaches for foss admins, was wondering if Anki needs an Anti AI on shared decks

Fighting Malicious AI Scrapers With More AI

Recent video which talks about latest projects using anubis by the same creator above

FOSS projects:

• GitHub - TecharoHQ/anubis: Weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests using proof-of-work to stop AI crawlers
  • Docs
  • Blog (Anubis highlighted blogs: #1, #2, #3)
• GitHub - vaxerski/checkpoint: Checkpoint is a tiny reverse proxy that attempts to block AI by serving a cryptographic challenge.

Extra: Instead of Anubis default icon/waifu, we could use Anki-tan by Shige which has been gaining popularity recently xD

As for whether anki would benefit, I would assume probably not? the anki’s homepage isn’t exactly changing often enough for a scraper to care to keep scraping (the author said it was their personal git server that was being scraped, which would be changed enough to cause a lot of scrapes)
maybe ankiweb deck lists are getting overly scrapped? but the original author’s complaint was not about bandwidth, but that all the connections were causing crashes
I can’t think of a time ankiweb crashed so I would assume it has no real need of something like anubis, and “Installing and using this will likely result in your website not being indexed by some search engines. This is considered a feature of Anubis, not a bug.” (GitHub - TecharoHQ/anubis: Weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests using proof-of-work to stop AI crawlers) is kinda a non-starter for a lot of things like anki.
