It's pretty bizarre to see them going from being the bot protection platform to differentiating on the kinds of bots they'll block, because now they're facilitating the exact kind of bot automation they made their name protecting against.
They're cutting AI off at the legs for everyone else, then building the new tool to sell AI enablement.
They'll probably let their customers pay to bypass their protection scheme, which will complete the loop.
It really rubs me the wrong way.
It should 100% be a different company. I don't feel safe with Cloudflare being the ones building this tech.
