This is fantastic and I appreciate that it scales well on the server side.
Ai scraping is a scourge and I would love to know the collective amount of power wasted due to the necessity of countermeasures like this and add this to the total wasted by ai.
All this could be avoided by making submit photo id to login into a account.
I don't think this would help:

By photo ID, I don't mean just any photo, I mean "photo id" cryptographically signed by the state, certificates checked, database pinged, identity validated, the whole enchilada
That would have the same effect as just taking the site offline...
No one is giving a random site their photo ID.
