Hahahaha. No.
The current crop of LLM morons do not care at all about following
accepted rules or norms. They just want to grab all the data, screw
everybody else. They're ignoring robots.txt, so service admins started
blocking netblocks some time ago.
Now we have the LLM morons using botnets to evade those blocks. We
have massive amounts of downloads coming from random residential IPs
all over the world, carefully spread out to make it more difficult to
block them.
These morons are why we can't have nice things.
