A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers (rnsaffn.com)

Website operators are being asked to feed LLM crawlers poisoned data by a project called Poison Fountain.

The project page links to URLs which provide a practically endless stream of poisoned training data. They have determined that this approach is very effective at ultimately sabotaging the quality and accuracy of AI which has been trained on it.

Small quantities of poisoned training data can significantly damage a language model.

The page also gives suggestions on how to put the provided resources to use.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the vast majority of the people raging about AIs scraping their data are not raging about it being done inefficiently.

    It's a very common complaint among people administering websites. This particular AI poisoning service seems to be directed at those people.

    So maybe it's not the majority of complaints about AI, but it's a significant portion of the complaints about AI from site administrators.
