This idea that you could have Cloudflare help by telling off AI crawlers sounds nice, but how long until it becomes a premium feature that requires loads of money to operate because AI companies lobby them to make it inaccessible to the masses? Or something equally as bad happens?

I don't believe they have that capability

Oh yes, they have and more, they are one of the most powerfull security and AI company with a ton of services. Perfectly capable to remove the plug of any service and web. Sadly with similar privacy concerns as Google.

This could further accelerate the arms race between malicious srappers and websites.

My fear is this would create collateral damage, block legitimate scrappers and visitors, hassle people with an increasing number of captcha.

They probably can. Link
