As noted in the article, Google comes up with a scheme like this every couple months. They also can’t seem to identify good sites anymore, based on their search results.

So… fuck it. Let them DRM their part of the internet. It is mostly shit nowadays anyway. They can index Reddit, X, and a bunch of sites that are GPT SEO trash.

We’re never getting 201X internet back anyway, so let Google and friends do their thing and everybody who doesn’t want anything to do with it can go back to the 200X internet. It was kind of disorganized but it it better than fighting them on DRM over an over again.

If you can identify bots more accurately, you get less "GPT SEO trash".

This proposal does not affect bots producing web content, only (potentially) bots browsing web content.

It does affect bots creating social media content.

Not necessarily. Even with WEI, spammers could farm legit tokens and then set up their own api that hands one out to their bot when one is necessary.

My understanding is that you can't reuse tokens, because the system uses challenge response.
