"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Having a markdown file is just as effective as the robot.txt files were for webcrawlers. It assumes the rules will be followed.
Poisoning is better, not only because it infects the very thing they're taking, but it's not a defined thing the model can be instructed to watch out for. Since models do "think", they could be told to look for such attempts and avoid it, but they still have to have a template to understand WHAT to look for.
Now the question is, how to best plant such things and make sure they look very much like code to be taken in. Comments are easy to avoid, it needs to be part of the code while not affecting the code working.
LLM generated code does usually include comments, so I'm guessing they do read the comments in code anyways.
As long as the poisoning doesn't disrupt normal usage, I'd say poison away with your comments.
At some points, I also did that level of commenting, mainly to guide a human to write stuff, or as a form of rubberducking (did fix a lot of issues of mine).
