Summary

Cloudflare has introduced AI Labyrinth, a new approach that uses AI-generated content to slow down and confuse bot traffic. When detected, Cloudflare deploys an automatically generated set of linked pages without requiring customers to create custom rules. This approach serves as a next-generation honeypot, wasting the resources of AI crawlers and making it difficult for them to gather useful information. The AI-generated content is created using Workers AI with an open-source model and is seamlessly integrated into existing pages without disrupting the user experience. By opting-in, customers can help improve Cloudflare's bot detection capabilities and stay ahead of AI scrapers.
