Yes, otherwise is more natural but less terse.

‘Else’ is not commonly used in English today but the meaning does fit. From Webster’s (1913):
Else, adverb or conjunction
1. Besides; except that mentioned; in addition; as, nowhere else; no one else.
2. Otherwise; in the other, or the contrary, case; if the facts were different.
“For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it.” – Ps. li. 16.
After ‘or’, else is sometimes used expletively, as simply noting an alternative. “Will you give thanks, … or else shall I?” – Shak.

Having AI “blow over” is overblown but OP does have some suggestions (except maybe CSS) that should be AI-resistant.

Yes, so far the competitive dynamics feel more like cloud computing than web search.

Not to be confused with the Zen of Backup…
A novice asked the master: “What must I do to learn the Zen of Backup?” The master whacked the novice in the head, grabbed the keyboard, and ran sudo rm -rf /. The novice smiled and left feeling enlightened.

Forgive me for my ignorance: Why should the Rodin Museum be obligated to provide 3D scans of Rodin’s sculptures? OP jumps into legal arguments about FOI without connecting the dots from the law to the point clouds.
