I'm curious if this was some kind of DDOS, or if someone was trying to use it to train AI and was pulling everything to make a local copy

About the only way to ensure you're not training AI on bots, is to use "old internet" when bots were more obvious

It already is as far as I know. I've heard before that ChatGPT is strictly trained on data from before, like 2018 or so for this reason.

So the litmus test for a bot is to ask if it's skibidy?
