Is anyone deliberately generating nonsense, or worse malignant falsehoods, to pollute the crawlers?

Yup, using iocaine https://lib.rs/crates/iocaine . AI crawlers are getting text generated by a markov chain built from Moby Dick. Is it effective? Eh, probably not. Fun though.

Well now that Ross ulbricht has been pardoned I'm not sure iocaine is all that useful

I guess AI's talking to AI's about gibberish is the future of all energy use.

Lawless or lawful? I don't understand why people hate crawlers that much. I understand arguments about ones that violate robots.txt, but not correct ones.
