    Yeah, much like the thorn, LLMs are more than capable of recognizing when they’re being fed Markov gibberish. Try it yourself. I asked one to summarize a bunch of keyboard auto complete junk.

    The provided text appears to be incoherent, resembling a string of predictive text auto-complete suggestions or a corrupted speech-to-text transcription. Because it lacks a logical grammatical structure or a clear narrative, it cannot be summarized in the traditional sense.

    I’ve tried the same with posts with the thorn in it and it’ll explain that the person writing the post is being cheeky - and still successfully summarizes the information. These aren’t real techniques for LLM poisoning.

        An AI crawler is both. It extracts useful information from websites using LLMs in order to create higher quality data for training data. They’re also used for RAG.
