I agree with your sentiment. It's sad that your (or my) website can't respond with a X-This-Website-is-not-AI-Garbage
header to indicate that "Hey user, you can actually just open this website and read it and get the infos you need without an AI assistant.".
I'm pretty sure Firefox's preflight request will also not load ads and so could be seen as a bad scraper.
I must be an old, boring fart, but when I see blog posts with emoji spam in every single paragraph, I feel pandered to. It reads like an MLM post on Facebook about being your own GirlBoss.
