The AI company Perplexity is complaining their bots can't bypass Cloudflare's firewall

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
In a better timeline, we wouldn't need to cheer the victory of one megacorporation over another, they would both be the losers. But also people are still capable of holding two thoughts simultaneously.
For instance, we'd all be happy to see Apple lose the Epic Games lawsuit and be forced out of their monopoly on app stores on iOS. But those same people are aware it would allow Epic to continue being a disgusting company.
Oh I see lol
What does any of that have to do with the fact that Cloudflare isn’t able to classify traffic in order to distinguish between human user generated traffic and mass scraping bot traffic?
If they’re incapable of distinguishing the two, then their customers are having legitimate user requests blocked by Cloudflare with no ability to opt out.
Yeah, I think people who’re unable to think rationally about a problem because they made up their mind before knowing any of the details are intellectually lazy.
