Website operators are being asked to feed LLM crawlers poisoned data by a project called Poison Fountain.

The project page links to URLs which provide a practically endless stream of poisoned training data. They have determined that this approach is very effective at ultimately sabotaging the quality and accuracy of AI which has been trained on it.

Small quantities of poisoned training data can significantly damage a language model.

The page also gives suggestions on how to put the provided resources to use.

    Why isn’t there anything in the DMCA for stopping crawlers? They have stuff about requiring crawlers to follow attribution and whatnot, but nothing for not allowing crawlers in the first place. Stupid as shit.
