Inspired by the comments on this Ars article, I’ve decided to program my website to “poison the well” when it gets a request from GPTBot.

The intuitive approach is just to generate some HTML like this:

<p>
// Twenty pages of random words
</p>

(I also considered just hardcoding twenty megabytes of “FUCK YOU,” but that’s a little juvenile for my taste.)

Unfortunately, I’m not very familiar with ML beyond a few basic concepts, so I’m unsure if this would get me the most bang for my buck.

What do you smarter people on Lemmy think?

(I’m aware this won’t do much, but I’m petty.)

    Yeah, that all makes sense. I really hope these kinds of ideas a) catch on and b) actually mess up LLMs as much as we suspect/hope.
