For the record, I'm not faulting Cloudflare here. I'm not a fan of them, but I do understand the appeal, and in this case, they're serving the greater good with this optional feature. It's the underlying reason for that which is where "Fuck AI" comes in.
To be fair, web application firewalls and log analyzers are a thing. No one really needs specifically Cloudflare to do it, and the downsides that come with it. It's just that it is very convenient.
