I install this ublock list on every machine, it (among many things) removes ai results from search engines, which are often the entry door for people..

Refusal.

For example, people have sent me documents with the comment "hey please look over this text for this work thing we're doing together. The first attachment is my draft, the second is what chatgpt did with it".
I flat out email back "thanks for your draft, here are my comments. I refuse to read the other one."

(Probably easier for me than others; I'm a freelance traditional artist – people expect me to be weird anyway.)

@alineblankertz small but fun, tumblr users had a sort of spam campaign to get ai overview to suggest to Tesla owner to wash their cars with lemon and britte

@alineblankertz @gerrymcgovern @asrg @danmcquillan I'm already beyond that, with my thoughts.
My questions are: will we recognize in the future such a scam? Will we be able to sustain new technologies, or anything new is to be considered "rotten as the AI promise"?
It has serious consequences on the future, no matter how you take it - e.g. environmentally.

I'm lowkey politically active. When I spot some government entity or office using AI illustration for brochures, handouts and the like, I call them out.

"Is that AI? Why did you use that? Are you aware of the implications regarding the environment? Isn't that against the policy of your department?"

I do this in a friendly way. Mostly, they admit they were in a hurry and didn't really think about it, since everyone is using AI, too.

@alineblankertz @gerrymcgovern @asrg @danmcquillan@kolektiva.social I know that some people make honeytraps for AI scrapers that specifically inject bullshit into training data; both for code and for prose.

@alineblankertz Not sure if this fits what you're looking for, but sharing in case it might be relevant.
