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.

    Data is available therefore it is… well, available. You don’t want to pay to host it? Don’t then. LLM companies don’t hack your servers. They read only the data that you have provided volunterely.

        Do you think that using ad hominem instead of responding to a person’s point makes you enlightened, pro-social and independent?

        It makes you look like another toxic Internet person, indistinguishable from the FUD bots that swarm social media.
