Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim I have a problem with people who start posts about a topic with "let's discuss", but don't actually start the discussion. I have a friend (?) in Toronto who, especially during election season (which seems to be always these days), asking for my opinion on things without ever offering one of her own. I got tired of putting in the effort … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani I disagree with that sentiment when it comes to a Q&A forum such as DaniWeb. The very premise of the site is that people ask questions. Quite often, uninformed questions. Sometimes those questions are just asking for your informed opinion as an expert in your field or as someone more informed than they are at the topic at hand. Other people … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim And I disagree with that. The post I was referring to was >In this thread, let's dive into the exciting advancements in the world of audio technology. From spatial audio to AI-driven sound systems, the audio landscape is evolving rapidly. Share your thoughts on the latest innovations, your favorite audio gadgets, or how new tech is shaping … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani >I fail to see the distinction between asking for an opinion versus a suggestion versus any other form of help or assistance. I understand that you see a distinction when the OP is trying to start a discussion versus asking for advice or help. However, I don’t understand why you make that distinction in a Q&A discussion forum. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim 1. I thought we didn't have "forums" anymore. 2. Perhaps the OP posted in the wrong place. 3. Regardless, it was clearly a discussion and not a question. It's moot since the thread has been deleted. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani > I have a bit of a migraine right now, so I have to put a little more thought into whether these 2 posts should be deleted when my head is a bit clearer. Unfortunately, I ended up in the ER from an unrelenting migraine that hasn’t let up for 6 days, and is not responding to any medication. I don’t mean to drop the ball on this thread. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani Today is day one trillion of this still unrelenting headache. FINALLY, a diagnosis! I have shingles. Feeling hopeful to begin treatment and start feeling better. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim I've had close relatives who had that but I don't recall headaches as a symptom. I hope I never get it (I can't get the vaccine because it's a live vaccine). Good luck with recovery now that you have a diagnosis. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani Jim, My intense headache is because the shingles rash is all over my scalp, my eyebrow, and even all over my eyelid! The intense headache pain was radiating from the area of my scalp where the shingles rash eventually presented. Luckily, the shingles vaccine is no longer live, so you should definitely get it. (I just happened to have not … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim I'll have to ask next time I am at the pharmacy. Thanks for the tip. Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani Having a very, very difficult time. My eye is swollen shut and I’m in danger of losing my vision as the shingles rash gets closer and closer to my cornea. Re: Page Speed Issue Digital Media Digital Marketing by Dani > This system doesn't allow replies in the way that Reddit and such do. Odd, but … Re: Odd but True Facts Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani I don't have an odd, yet true, fact, but I felt the need to post here because I felt bad that this thread has not seen any replies. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Pebble94464 As a human, can you detect gibberish content? You may think you can fool AI today or tomorrow, but what about a year from now? At some point in the future AI will match our intelligence and then quickly surpass us. Generating gibberish content might impede AI for a while but it's only delaying the inevitable. Resistance is useless! Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Reverend Jim Even human generated content <edit - gibberish> can be hard to detect, except of course for Jordan Peterson. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani To Pebble's point, I genuinely believe that the **** that was spewed in the first post of this thread is not any more sophisticated than those chain messages circulating Facebook that say things like copy and paste the sentence, "I don't give Facebook the authority to blah or the copyright to blah" into a FB post, thinking it will be … Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Reverend Jim Note: in the previous post I meant to say gibberish instead of content. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Fitmovers I'm realizing that "poisoning AI web crawls" could suggest malicious actions, which are often prohibited. Thus, providing guidance for such a request is inappropriate and against policy. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani > "Kiss my shiny metal ***" Seriously?! Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani > OpenAI rips content, no one bats an eye. Deepsink does same, "They are ripping off our work." I don't know why you think that. In the SEO publishing industry, us publishers have been very vocally complaining that OpenAI, Google, etc. have been stealing our content for at least 2 years now. I think the difference is, as I … Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani I think people are not understanding what I'm saying here. Please allow me to demonstrate: Looking at our Google Analytics right now, I can see that, aside from the top search engines such as Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, the next biggest place we get traffic from is ChatGPT. Moreover, the average engagement time per session for visitors finding… Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani > I guess AI is replacing traditional search engine queries? ChatGPT traffic still doesn't surpass Google, but it's definitely way up there. I believe it's heading in that direction, yes. Re: Any Reddit pros? Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Heatman There are so many SubReddits on Reddit. If you're using each one of them, make sure to check out the rules and regulations of them. If you don't, they will keep suspending your account before Reddit will outrightly give you a permanent ban. Re: Any Reddit pros? Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani Not only does that sound annoying, but it sounds a bit like the reason why I created DaniWeb in the first place. Basically DaniWeb was founded out of my frustration that there were sooo many niche forums out at the time, and I felt like just to put a website together, I had to use JustLinux.com to learn about the OS, WebHostingTalk.com to learn … Re: How would we poison AI web crawls?

Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Dani As someone who has made a career out of working with ad agencies, and has 3 patents on data mining user behavior within social platforms, that all sounds absolutely abhorrent. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Reverend Jim >This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data Right. That's what we need. Still more junk. We'll just push Sturgeon's law from 90% to 99.99%. That will make things better. Re: How would we poison AI web crawls? Hardware and Software Information Security by Reverend Jim That was my third edit of a response. The first two were basically "old man yelling at clouds". ![2025-02-25_151403.jpg](https://static.daniweb.com/attachments/3/e6a519b49fd69dfed333a4d51fc8e8c2.jpg)
