Uh, so I'm not invested either way, but the tone you run in your post suggests to me that you might have fallen for some kind of conspiratorial thinking. Hope ur doing ok.

How so? He brings good points and now there's two responses trying to make emotional appeal instead of address the hypocrisy.

I know it's 2025, but I expected a bit better from this community.

Are you arguing that "poorly thought out solution from an AI sympathizer, it was probably vibecoded" is not an emotional appeal, or do you think it's unfair to respond to an emotional appeal with an emotional criticism?

I think their layer points based on actual events do lend credence to at least look deeper. The incentives don't line up for a tool to combat AI to utilize it for promotional material.

Well it's a tool to combat scraping, and in particular text-focused scraping. That's very far away from image generation, even with both falling under "AI".

It's worth some consideration but it doesn't leave the whole thing feeling nonsensical or fake.
