AI scrapers request commented scripts

Two thoughts here when it comes to poisoning unwanted LLM training data traffic

1) A coordinated effort among different sites will have a much greater chance of poisoning the data of a model so long as they can avoid any post scraping deduplication or filtering.

2) I wonder if copyright law can be used to amplify the cost of poisoning here. Perhaps if the poisoned content is something which has already been shown to be aggressively litigated against then the copyright owner will go after them when the model can be shown to contain that banned data. This may open up site owners to the legal risk of distributing this content though… not sure. A cooperative effort with a copyright holder may sidestep this risk but they would have to have the means and want to litigate.

As for 1, it would be great to have this as a plugin for WordPress etc. that anyone could simply install and enable. Pre-processing images to dynamically poison them on each request should be fun, and also protect against a deduplication defense. I'd certainly install that.
