   Instead of blocking AI crawlers, sites with good, legitimate content should serve up garbage to the crawlers and poison the training models

     @inthehands @anildash @misc there is already the worry that AI generated content creates a negative feedback loop as that content in turn naturally makes its way into training data, so this is sort of like slightly accelerating that entropy :)

     @anildash @misc
     I am increasingly interested in this as a general strategy:

     Browser plugins that “click” and invisibly open-but-don’t-really open random Google ads.

     Burner accounts on Facebook filled with garbage that randomly follow, like, and message each other.

     Spam the machine learning.

     That’s exactly the sort of thing I’m thinking of, yes!

     @inthehands @anildash @misc For the first part, does AdNauseum fit the bill?
