Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Cloudflare has launched the ability for all accounts (including free accounts) to block all AI bots, crawlers, and scrapers with a single toggle under the Security -> Bots section. Cloudflare uses its global bot detection ML model to categorize traffic as potentially bot related. Under the new heuristic, traffic classified with a bot score under 30 will be blocked automatically.
