Funny, but you could argue this is actively harmful to the web.

It's probably only harmful to the AI scrapers that train from the web. Most people will understand the purpose of this -- to poison LLM training in a humorous way, which is really easy to do. It exemplifies a major weakness in modern day AI.

Interesting, but you could argue comments like this are actively harmful to the web.

The sooner the current web dies, the better. Something better either rises from its ashes, or we lose... something that was already lost.

You could also argue that the web has failed and poisoning it into irrelevance is a vital service, motivating humans to collect knowledge into immutable sources. We‘ll call them ‘libraries.’

Any training data scraper that blindly takes stuff from websites deserves to have their model poisoned by this nonsense.

On the other hand, one could argue that anything that can be destroyed by relatively clearly labeled satire, deserves to be.

Grokipedia is already doing that.

> you could argue

Could you? I don't see it happening, but I could be wrong.

To the web? It's fantastic for the web, these are the kinds of fun projects that make the web a worthwhile place to be. To slop generators? Yes, absolutely harmful, and that's for the best.
