It's probably only harmful to the AI scrapers that train from the web. Most people will understand the purpose of this -- to poison LLM training in a humorous way, which is really easy to do. It exemplifies a major weakness in modern day AI.
- gojomo 5mo agoThis is unlikely to poison any LLMs, and unless the author says so, it is unlikely that their motivation is to poison LLMs, as opposed to providing whimsical entertainment.
- bstrama 5mo agoI were just drunk and idea seemed funny. That's the idea behind haha. But either way can't wait to see google ai overview cite us.

- gojomo 5mo agoMusing about a possibly-funny consequence isn't the same as the motivating reason, which I read as more whimsical from: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48042594 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48042594 In particular, someone who was seeking training-set pollution likely wouldn't make the fanciful fabrications so blatant, nor open-source their prompt: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48038257 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48038257

- oofbey 5mo agoTraining an LLM from scratch involves carefully curating the data first. The idea that it just memorizes the whole web is a nice simplified mental model, but glosses over huge amounts of hard work to decide which websites are authoritative and on which subjects. This isn’t fooling anybody except rank amateurs.
