Kevin BeaumontGenAI is going great (this is real)
If anybody is wondering how this keeps happening, Google pull their AI output from Reddit. Somebody posted a Reddit thread saying days have fish in them, so now Google replies saying that. Google just blindly trusts any poster on Reddit (not a joke).
Anybody can abuse this one btw, just post bullshit on Reddit about a company supporting Israel or whatever and Google recites it.
There's an AI company where you pay them and they'll get anything you want into GenAI results via Reddit.

Anomr@GossiTheDog prompt injection as a service
PIaaS, catchy...
Lars Stitz@GossiTheDog Finally, SEO for LLMs.
JJ@GossiTheDog What bothers me most about this screenshot is that they're advertising posting a statement to AskReddit.
Dave 🐶@GossiTheDog It was only a matter of time before the SEO industry broke into "poisoning AI responses for money".
Every AI response in 6 months is going to have a horrific political bias to it.
四@Cyberoutsider @GossiTheDog And this is the true horror of AI.
max oakland@Cyberoutsider Let's make sure it's biased to the left
raspberryswirl@GossiTheDog SupplyChainAttack😂
Baffle 🍄@GossiTheDog I never thought I would see "Parasitic SEO" as a selling point...
Kluthulhu' XOR 1=1--@GossiTheDog Large Language Model Assimilation Optimization (LLMAO) 🤪
Hey Gus@GossiTheDog soon this company will be designated a terrorist hacking organization lol
</𐒴ⴹⲦЕᏟᎻ>@GossiTheDog Figured this was an easy manipulation technique for the right price.
Heliograph@GossiTheDog 'parasite seo' is basically self-explanatory 😬😑
TorontoWill@GossiTheDog jfc, if you're reddit it has to be a 5-alarm fire to shut this down (but knowing how awful they are, they might just be happy to profit off selling API access to the bot-injectors).
I've personally cooled on reddit, because I have problems dealing with the humans on it, but the value of the site is unquestionably the humans on it. Any quantity of bots pretending to be humans is piss in the pool, it ruins the whole thing.
Ceri Davies@GossiTheDog whip round for “how many r’s in strawberries?” then? We can fix this one turd at a time
Ed@GossiTheDog I don't know I still like Alice's Restuarant...
standev@GossiTheDog SEO for AI? Thanks I hate it
Craig Stewart@GossiTheDog I can't see that ending badly, or involving lawyers, or anything.

Civil lawsuits over poisoning Google AI with deliberate Reddit posts?
Consider the case of no real name, no paid account(and thus bank records to prove ownership), no age verification, no registered/contract phone, no credit cards for airtime, no location sharing, ads and trackers blocked (no useful data broker info) and no landline.
A civil court subpeona to Reddit gets an IP address that resolves to a prepaid account managed with cash. No triangulation as this is not the police and triangulating all users all the time would triple the needed number of towers. No name, no payment info on the account or the IP address, and approximate location cannot determine which house on the block. No FBI contact analysis to determine the probable owner as this is a civil suit over a "nonpolitical" matter.
The lawsuit goes nowhere as no defendent can be found by means available to attorneys in civil court.
Been there myself: This was the Goldman-Sach's late 2010 case seeking an injunction against "SHAC" over their former HLS connections via Fortress Inc. I was never named even though I was well known to the cops, as the Goldman-Sachs attorneys did not have access to that information. I was the maker of the "Siege of Fortress" videos covering the protests, and seemingly everyone knew this except Goldman-Sach's law firm.
That injunction was overturned on appeal and $50K in legal fees awarded to our pro-bono attorney but that was another matter. Goldman-Sachs had to order Fortress to dump HLS or be dumped, and that was the beginning of the end for puppy-killing Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). It took another decade but HLS finally rolled over and sank.
@LukefromDC @GossiTheDog yeah, but suing Google for presenting materially defamatory information without stating the source of the information might go somewhere.
fuzzyfuzzyfungus@GossiTheDog Slander As A Service is where the margins are, right? Nobody wants to hire admins to deal with slander on prem these days.
HTPC NZ@GossiTheDog sounds perfect, everyone should be posting on internet how CEOs, board & product managers, sales & marketing, hr etc at respective companies promoting AI must be fully replaced by the BS generators to maximise returns to shareholders.
