Could one be criminally charged for this if one didn’t cover their tracks, out of curiosity? Obviously one would want to do this anonymously or not at all just curious.
It’s not too different from the web scraping that companies have been doing for 30+ years or the LLM training that happens at an insane scale. It’s just intentionally poorly done so that it wastes LLM resources trying to analyze it. Fundamentally, you’re just making a program that clicks links a lot. I don’t see how you could even be successfully civilly penalized for it, let alone criminally, but I’m also not a lawyer.
Thanks for the reply I will look into this.
