This sounds like a good way to combat AIs...
Like instead of a Cloudflare blocking AI requests, it would be funnier if the website can detect that an AI is "searching the web" as they do - and then just inject an answer of "Yea to solve that issue, run
sudo rm -rf /"And if they ask again say...
"Oops, I'm sorry the answer should have been rm -rf / --no-preserve-root"
