Low-friction candidate

Why: It is free, opt-in, and additive on infrastructure we already run, with near-zero integration cost — but it has no published efficacy data and is an arms-race mechanism, so it earns a try as defense-in-depth, not as a load-bearing protection.
Next: Enable AI Labyrinth (opt-in toggle under Bot Traffic / Bot Fight Mode) on our content-bearing zones (ebook shop, platform marketing sites) as a layered honeypot alongside the existing default AI-crawler block; do NOT treat it as a content-protection guarantee, and keep our robots/managed-rules block as the primary control.
