AI Bot Test: Can your AI Access AND Understand This?

This is just a static HTML file created by the program Toilet [1] not my repo, and compressed with Brotli [2] also not my repo.

I am just curious if LLM's can:

- reach and parse the file,

- comprehend what it says.

Browsers can parse it because they will accept the most abhorrent HTML. Humans can understand it because they are intelligent. I am curious if AI bots are also this tolerant. I know, it's a silly and stupid test. I am just curious which LLM bots are able to cope and if this is a way humans could communicate a short message without bots snooping.
