Just a thought - if you design a system to prevent AI crawlers, instead of booting them off, serve crypto-mining JavaScript instead. It would be very funny.

“Proof of work”. The AI crawlers don’t run Javascript (yet, I don’t think), so it’s basically a firewall to them.
I’m fairly sure Anubis was made because some crawlers did run JavaScript
Some can from what i understood
And not only JS but other code too like SQL
I remember the somewhat recent case where someone vibecoded something and the AI viped the database
That’s a local AI agent not an online crawler
