I see a ton of articles posted here about how AI sucks, but this is a big, dedicated community. I feel like there’s more to do than just read the news. What can we do as members of Fuck AI to protest against this bullshit? What are you guys already doing individually?

    All websites and services I managed are filled with poisoned data, text or images. At least 15% of my total processing power is spent on generating the poisoned text thata, but I’m glad to do it. Take more action people, not only “protest”

      I’m curious about this. How are you doing it and what sorts of poison are you generating?

      I understand that there are watermarking tools like Nightshade, but I hear they’ve already been undermined. I’d like to create a never ending rabbit hole of fake blog posts, but I’m not clear on how to ensure that the site’s search indexing continues to work while poisoning any AI crawling.

        The ones that say that Nightshade is not working is because they don’t understand how it works. They “test” it by asking a LLM what image they see and it usually identifies it without any problems. The actual function is thay when the image is used to train data, it provokes errors in tagging the image. So a poisoned image of a car is correctly identified as a car by ChatGPT, but when is used to train the model, that car is used to train images of idk cakes.

        For text there are a lot of interesting tarpits, like this one https://github.com/amenyxia/Sarracenia or the original one called Nepenthes
