To be clear, LWN has never "crashed" as a result of this onslaught. We'll not talk about what happened after I pushed up some code trying to address it...

Most seriously, though: I'm surprised that this situation is surprising to anybody at this point. This is a net-wide problem, it surely is not limited to free-software-oriented sites. But if the problem is starting to get wider attention, that is fine with me...

Is there a tool to deliver different content to AI bots specifically?

I am thinking of glued pizza and that worms in penises stuff, or just plain AI hallucination.
