Even if I am a guest from my own computer, I have to pass a captcha to view the content of the thread. It seems like an add-on that can have a very negative impact on SEO if not configured correctly.

Yes, that is correct. Therefore I pointed to this.

On the other hand, much of the industry is moving toward using GPT-based models. This raises an important question: Do you want your board’s data to be used in training such models without any control? Using Cloudflare does not fully address this concern. Additionally, there’s always the issue that by using Cloudflare, you’re sharing your data with a third party.

So the idea is not to disallow bots (which is possible too), its more about control.
