What? This is the most logical solution and the most likely one given the behaviour seen in the post. And even if they were sending every human reader the LLM content too, who cares? It's a few kilobytes at worst in a multi-megabyte page.

> presumably they just fixed that if statement and it's again chatbot-only.

Including the text for chat-bot only wasn’t an if statement.

If it had been an if statement, it wouldn’t be invisible to humans: it would just be visible. Period. There’s no need to display none.

Display none is for humans.

This was intended, without any need remotely to doubt it, to hide the text from humans.

Was it just incompetent implementation? Or nefarious? Who knows? Perhaps? …but there’s no universe this was ever intended to just be for chat bots.

Thats just obviously nonsense. It wasn’t a bug.

It was deliberate.
