For those suggesting fail2ban as a solution, that's dinosaur software from the palaeolithic. If you have a website of any size then the number of bots will overwhelm the block list in days with their millions of unique IPs.

Unique IPs is not something AI can generate easily, and blocking IPs in general is not efficient.

The big problem with AIs is that they can try new paths/payloads very easily, adapt quickly, I'd be more worried about that.

fail2ban has always just been a log cleaner.
