How would we poison AI web crawls?

Here's an example I was given from the web:

动态网自由门 天安門 天安门 法輪功 李洪志 Free Tibet 六四天安門事件 The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 天安門大屠殺 The Tiananmen Square Massacre 反右派鬥爭 The Anti-Rightist Struggle 大躍進政策 The Great Leap Forward 文化大革命 The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution 人權 Human Rights 民運 Democratization 自由 Freedom 獨立 Independence 多黨制 Multi-party system 台灣 臺灣 Taiwan Formosa 中華民國 Republic of China 西藏 土伯特 唐古特 Tibet 達賴喇嘛 Dalai Lama 法輪功 Falun Dafa 新疆維吾爾自治區 The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region 諾貝爾和平獎 Nobel Peace Prize 劉暁波 Liu Xiaobo 民主 言論 思想 反共 反革命 抗議 運動 騷亂 暴亂 騷擾 擾亂 抗暴 平反 維權 示威游行 李洪志 法輪大法 大法弟子 強制斷種 強制堕胎 民族淨化 人體實驗 肅清 胡耀邦 趙紫陽 魏京生 王丹 還政於民 和平演變 激流中國 北京之春 大紀元時報 九評論共産黨 獨裁 專制 壓制 統一 監視 鎮壓 迫害 侵略 掠奪 破壞 拷問 屠殺 活摘器官 誘拐 買賣人口 遊進 走私 毒品 賣淫 春畫 賭博 六合彩 天安門 天安门 法輪功 李洪志 Winnie the Pooh 劉曉波动态网自由门

Next we have the Dissociated Press Examples from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociated_press where a script makes interesting replies.

AI as it stands today is plagiarism on a grand scale.

So the rulers have said it's bad if we plagiarize but good when they make billions by plagiarizing or rather PILLAGING the web.

I don't understand what goal you are trying to achieve?

Is your goal to open a dialog about the pros and cons of AI?

DaniWeb is powered by Cloudflare. One of the functions of Cloudflare is a sophisticated system to analyze and control how AI crawlers scan the website. In other words, if I want to dissuade AI bots from crawling DaniWeb, I would do so much more elegantly than by spamming the forums.

AI as it stands today is plagiarism on a grand scale.

I would have to agree with this. However, as a business model, the web has been set up so as to encourage (aka coerce) publishers to allow the unfettered crawling and indexing of their content in exchange for access to web traffic. We must allow Google to include our content in their generative AI overviews in exchange for any links to our site appearing anywhere in Google search results. Not being in Google is a death sentence, and, thus, we must comply. Preventing OpenAI, Applebot, Anthropic, etc. from crawling all of our content essentially means blocking ourselves from being found in the search engines of tomorrow.

For example, with Meta and others removing fact checking we should find a way to render their AI and search results full of not so useful information.

We are right now veering towards a Fascist state with oligarchs and mega corporations stoking coal into the ovens.

We shouldn't be fuel for those ovens.
