Cloudflare is now offering a feature called “AI labyrinth” where it serves a series of AI generated pages to AI crawlers that ignore robots.txt directives.

Cloudflare turns AI against itself with endless maze of irrelevant facts
New approach punishes AI companies that ignore “no crawl” directives.Benj Edwards (Ars Technica)
"'No real human would go four links deep into a maze of AI-generated nonsense,' Cloudflare explains. 'Any visitor that does is very likely to be a bot, so this gives us a brand-new tool to identify and fingerprint bad bots.'"
Human visitors should not read documentation hosted on Cloudflare I guess?
