The asymmetry here is not "AI" scrapers vs. good faith users, it's server vs. scraper — the scraper uses much more resources computing the hashes than server does checking the result, and even if they have a lot of resources, they still aren't infinite and they can't overwhelm the server that easily. For human visitors it's of course always a bad thing with no advantages — I mean other than they can still access the hosted content.
