I would say you are being unnecessarily pedantic: the GP said "anything wrong", and the original comment obviously believes that there is "something wrong" which makes the choice not "sufficiently tasteful/professional/anodyne" (/me looking up "anodyne"). The obvious positive reading of the GP comment is that they disagree anime characters make it not "sufficiently tasteful/professional/anodyne".

You are replying to the GP.

I am replying to the "parent" comment which replies to the "grandparent" comment on the "original comment".

You seem to be unnecessarily pedantic too, while being wrong at the same time (I would get those relationships wrong sometimes if I thought it was clear enough).

With the calm, respectful understanding that everything is subjective and there's no accounting for taste - and in my personal capacity - I do not understand how cutesy anime characters have been deemed sufficiently tasteful/professional/anodyne enough to be displayed to literally every single person who visits my site.

It has simply been normalized and for a lot of smaller scale sites, that this was first made for, being a little less professional isn't a problem. But for situations where a company simply won't use Anubis because of its branding then they do sell a unbranded version. https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper

What an ingenious approach for a sustainable OSS project: serve the free version with playful art that you enjoy and that expresses your individuality, but which some people are bound to find triggering/improper; sell a bland lifeless corporate edition to those people.

Worse, it prevents people with older browsers from even visiting the site.

I do find the fact that anime is inescapable among mainly the American youth (not seen it as much here in Germany) to be alienating. I guess it’s just what it feels like to get old

> some others would find triggering/improper

I guess the main point is branding clash if you're a large company website (most companies care a lot about how their brand is shown, if they care about spacing/padding around their logo they also care about what pictures are shown when joining), hopefully nobody is triggered by this kind of art. (though resentment could build up if actual humans get frequently unexpectedly rejected as bots by this system, not sure if this actually happens however, didn't ever for me at least)

The approach they took here looks very reasonable from that standpoint indeed.

That is Anubis trying to get your browser to do proof of work: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

So AI made human browsing inconvenient?

AI-misia backfired and made human browsing inconvenient.

(PoW is fine, just wish it didn't spin it as an anti-AI thing.)
