Anubis Works is a proof-of-work proxy designed to prevent AI scraping of web content. It employs a SHA-256 computation challenge, requiring users to use modern browsers that support JavaScript. Despite its innovative approach, many users expressed skepticism about its effectiveness in preventing AI scraping, especially given the potential for AI companies to adapt and overcome the challenge. Some users noticed that the implementation could be simplified to improve performance, especially for static content, and raised concerns about the increased slow-down in web browsing due to additional challenges placed on users. The discussion also highlighted the challenges of distinguishing between legitimate scraping by search engines and unwanted AI scraping. Furthermore, the energy consumption associated with proof-of-work methods may conflict with broader goals of reducing energy use in technology.
