Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.
Jamie Zawinski (jwz) two weeks ago: Exterminate all rational AI scrapers
Today I added an infinite-nonsense honeypot to my web site just to fuck with LLM scrapers, based on a "spicy autocomplete" program I wrote about 30 years ago. Well-behaved web crawlers will ignore it, but those "AI" people.... well, you know how they are.
I'm intentionally not linking to the honeypot from here, for reasons, but I'll bet you can find it pretty easily (and without guessing URLs.)
It's kinda funny.
Reading the "spicy autocomplete" details cracked me up
That's a great idea. I think I'll start adding obviously bad invisible advice to mine.
Best quote:
"To Geuter, a computer scientist who has been writing about the social, political, and structural impact of tech for two decades, AI is the "most aggressive" example of "technologies that are not done 'for us' but 'to us.'""
