👏

@eclectech Brilliant. We should all have such a feature!

@eclectech This is wonderful!

@eclectech

Thanks for sharing proof of concept with your Riddle-o-Matic

I was wondering if there is a specific type of content that could completely poison the generative AI algorithm... something like people are beginning to find with clothing fabric designs and fooling facial recognition sw.

If the AI algorithm has optimazations in maths, it probably has de-optimizations in maths, too, beyond just eating its own generated crap.

Wondering, rhetorically, of course, could Riddle-o-Matic be that krytonite? Everyone just sticks a block of "Riddle-o-Matic" on their site in the most "eat me first" way and, ka-blooey, done

@eclectech Wow, congrats for the poison, thank your website for its service!

@eclectech

Curious as to what the Riddle-O-Matic originally was used for. Silliness for visitors that created a never ending stream of content, or one of those traps to keep unwanted web bots busy for hours as a big FU to that sort of thing?

Stupid me. You had a link to it. 😁

@eclectech I feel like @viticci would enjoy this!

@eclectech Modern Problems require Ancient Solutions I guess

@eclectech dang now I need to put up a page that just randomly throws Markov chain generated nonsense interspersed with links and let the automata poo on each other :D

@eclectech this is positively delightful!

@eclectech This inspires me to run something like this on my silly personal website. Any chance you open sourced it?

@eclectech we need more “AI” honey traps like this 🤗

@eclectech reminds me of the Postmodernism Generator: http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo

@eclectech Maybe you can successfully trap all the other AI scrapers on your site so that the rest of the internet remains free from their tyranny.

@eclectech I often go into an image AI tool and feed it bullshit.

@eclectech what an arse

@eclectech 👀 @baldur you might enjoy this (if you haven't already seen it anyway).

@eclectech

Let it eat the dogfood.

Eliza is happy.

@eclectech

"Cheeky", yes, I see the joke in the riddle answer.

Have fun poisoning the bot.

@eclectech @grrrr_shark

This absolutely made my day.

@eclectech if you don't want to block it, you could instead rate limit it.

@eclectech that's fantastic

@eclectech @mawhrin I was musing on writing a scraper dungeon that did exactly this. Dynamically generate an infinite number of linked web pages filled with automagically generated content. Spot when something gets trapped wandering around in there and block or rate limit the IP addresses doing that.”Nice” to see the idea in action, sorry about that them eating all your bandwidth.

@eclectech
Couldn't be arsed to look at more than three...
@Binder

@eclectech This feels like the ending scene of War of the Worlds, but for AI.

I love it.

@eclectech be careful, you might finally teach the AI to spell!

@eclectech What I find egregious is the way they ignore the robots.txt (etc) no matter how you phrase anything.
