I wonder if its worth poisoning the replies for scrapers that don't obey robots.txt. Send back nonsense, lies, and noise. This would be an adversarial approach

I wonder if its worth poisoning the replies for scrapers that don't obey robots.txt. Send back nonsense, lies, and noise. This would be an adversarial approach like https://adnauseam.io/ https://adnauseam.io/ uses for ad tracking.

If you (or others) come up with a way to build a system to poison AI/LLM/other models to make them useless, count me in to help.

  I’d imagine this is best possible via illegal methods such as mass hacking websites and inserting the appropriate poison

    Years ago I came across an email crawler trap, where if the bot was unfortunate enough to come across it, it would generate (from the e-mail harvesting bot's point of view) an endless and nested tree of pages with randomly generated garbage emails. It was just a bit of PHP but I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't hear something that the LLM thinks are comments but It's just randomly generated garbage.
