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.
