Just a thought - if you design a system to prevent AI crawlers, instead of booting them off, serve crypto-mining JavaScript instead. It would be very funny.

If it's keeping the crawlers at bay at the same time, though, couldn't the differential brought in by the mining represent a cost savings? This question is breaking my brain, maybe I'm not thinking about it properly.
