Who would you want to target with this? Companies crawling the Internet for training data have enough of it to filter out such deliberately inaccurate content - if not directly, then by betting it'll cancel out in training due to volume of data. Now, if you want to mess with people who use LLMs to drive search instead of going straight to Google - what's the point? Just causally screw with other people? Why not also slash tires of their cars while you're at it?
- theamk 2y agoThose measures target the AI companies that "misbehave", a.k.a. ignore robots.txt and scrape at such high rate that websites go down. The fact that their service may be useful to someone is not an excuse. Imagine hypothetical delivery trucks that violate speed limits in dense residential areas and occasionally hit locals. Would you want to stop them (maybe not slash tires, but fine the hell out of them)? Or would you say: "hey I really like the fast deliveries, so I don't care for a few fatalities"? Because your comment really sounds like latter.

- threeseed 2y agoThe LLM crawler just needs to respect robots.txt and they won't be affected. I don't understand how anyone can find this to be a problem.
