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.

    “You’re not opposing me. All you’ve done is create a problem that will stop me until I have it figured out.” is the description of every struggle between opposing forces, so it’s interesting that you disagree with that.

      Not really, more like “if I can find a key to the door, I can open it, so engraving a fixed combination for the door lock on the same key doesn’t change much”.

      Poisoned data is fundamentally valid data. Concepts of logical connectivity and statements being true or false are something needed to use it.
