um, no? Where did you get this strange bit of info.

The original reports say nothing of that sort: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42790252 ; and even original motivation for Anubis was Amazon AI crawler https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42750420

(I've seen more posts with the analysis, including one which showed an AI crawler which would identify properly, but once it hits the ratelimit, would switch to fake user agent from proxies.. but I cannot find it now)
