For the sake of “protection” from AI, they ruin the user experience for ordinary users.
I don't know English and I use a translator. In general, the translation of the page, and specifically user posts, is simply terrible, since the translator translates words and not entire sentences. Another disadvantage for users who do not know English.
@DearFox Outch! I checked the html: this is horrible! No wonder it breaks accessibility.
Thank you for the info. I'll plug this on the negative points.
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @DearFox@meow.social ...why did they do this???? It's extra work and it only makes things worse and it's empty comments too so it's totally useless. Wow
@ChaosKitsune@woem.men @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @DearFox@meow.social the empty comments in between, lmfao
@ChaosKitsune @DearFox Yes, no wonder where their huge bandwidth budget goes: delivering billions of <!-- --> daily... So much wasted electricity.
@davidrevoy @DearFox i seriously doubt this stops any but the most naive scrapers out there

A friend of mine who understands AI more than me says that this kind of “protection” can only be harmful for small models. For large models, such “complications” are even useful. What can I say, ChatGPT4o can even understand asci art text.
