LucidLynxMiasma: A tool to trap AI web scrapers in an endless poison pit
-1 for the name
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miasma_theory
Seems a clever and fitting name to me. A poison pit would probably smell bad. And at the same time, the theory that this tool would actually cause “illness” (bad training data) in AI is not proven.
I wish if there was some regulation which could force companies who scrape for (profit) to reveal who they are to the end websites, many new AI company don't seem to respect any decision made by the person who owns the website and shares their knowledge for other humans, only for it to get distilled for a few cents.
Is there any evidence or hints that these actually work?
It seems pretty reasonable that any scraper would already have mitigations for things like this as a function of just being on the internet.
