Please no. If we start designing things to be easier for LLMs we may as well just give up on pretending anything about this industry is logical or sensible. The amount of work we are putting in to bending over backwards for LLMs so that we don’t have to actually make any effort to create good software for humans is just outlandish.

Could the reverse logic be used to design websites that are specifically ANTI-llm? as in making the website understandable for a human but confusing for any llm model

If you go down that route probably you will end up designing websites that are also anti accesibility / anti screen readers / etc.

I don't see a way around it, without completely redesigning the protocols/languages/etc.

Websites are designed for humans, not LLMs in the first place.

I didn't read the article, but the title sounds like "how to make websites easier to scrape ?".

In that perspective I understand the first comment. Today, the only way to protect one's data against LLMs is to not put that data online. No copyright is effective, the only thing to do is to make data harder to scrape, not easier.
