With all the buzz around #AI #Scrapers and the rise of PoW-based solutions to block them, I wonder if a PoW spec could be the future of bot prevention?

Imagine a system where servers and user agents exchange challenges without relying on JavaScript (using e.g. HTTP headers). This way, non-JS users and text-based browsers stay functional, while bots are left out.

Would this be practical? What are the trade-offs? 🤔
