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 … Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by rproffitt 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. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani I’m not nearly as much of a conspiracy theorist. I also don’t think that spamming Facebook with nonsensical posts is going to make the world a better place. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Pebble94464 Don't waste your time, rproffitt. Spamming the web is unlikely to achieve your goals... Firstly, everything you post online is but a wee drop in the ocean. You'd need to do an illegal amount of spamming in order to sway an opinion. Secondly, AI bots crawling the web can be instructed to simply ignore pages that contain censored keywords. AI … Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by rproffitt I asked around and it appears we can affect change.

Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the precipitate. I think this sounds terrible. The global population is, more and more, relying on AI to serve up accurate answers. There's already the gigantic problem of hallucinations as well as AI consistently spewing out false information that sounds entirely believable, and therefore … Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Reverend Jim As an example, the person who developed Iocaine found that 94% of the traffic to his site was caused by bots. When you price and design a site for an expected human load, and then you get overwhelmed by bots, you can throw more money at it or you can take action against the bots.

Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani > When you price and design a site for an expected human load, and then you get overwhelmed by bots, you can throw more money at it or you can take action against the bots. It's true that the majority of websites on the Internet today spend more bandwidth on bots than they do on human visitors. However, there are both bad bots and good bots, … Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by rproffitt The OpenAI bot appears to be a bad bot. Discussed many times so here's just one: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1i154h7/openai_not_respecting_robotstxt_and_being_sneaky/ Fixes appear to be: 1. Block IP ranges from bots. 2.

Specifically, I would bet quite a large sum of money that the people who are complaining they can't get OpenAI to respect their robots.txt file either have a syntax error in their file, and/or aren't naming the correct user agents. I've seen people mistakingly try to reference a user agent called &… Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani > The creator of Nepenthes says that it is ineffective against OpenAI which I take to mean that OpenAI is ignoring robots.txt. As mentioned, Nepenthes uses the spoofing technique. Spoofing does not rely whatsoever on bots following robots.txt. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls?
