This was the core premise behind my research during grad school and beyond. My favorite project — which ultimately became my dissertation — was a proposal to connect reinforcement …

Yeah, we benchmarked against a few bot detection provides end of last year ( https://research.roundtable.ai/bot-benchmarking/ ), and Turnstile didn't do great when it came to AI ag…
