The whole thing has been quite entertaining as a disinterested party who has no stake in any of it. I’ve been considering putting a couple of sites back up that used to run on WP. I’m firmly in the static-site-generator camp if I decide to do so to reduce the cost of AI scraping, but our friend Matt sure gave me a reason to replace WP regardless.

Plus one on the static site generation. Especially now with AI, it's such a better experience and so much easier than it used to be, plus you'll get the huge performance and security benefits etc.
The only use case for WordPress is when you've very non-technical people needing to edit the site's content - a very common and natural situation since most are marketing sites - but even in that case I'd see if Wix could get the job done rather than rigging up a WordPress.
you could always use any cms/non-SSG and cache the pages on your webserver or, better yet, CDN. This would essentially be SSG + bells and whistles that make your life easier.
Modus operandi, maybe?
