from all aspects of AI, i find this the one that is easiest to ignore. AI might poison your reading, don't let it poison your writing. Why not continue doing your thing? This feeling of estrangement is not new in a world where every usefulness has to express itself as exchange value. Just have a service provider handle the additional load and don't stop being a thinking, writing, picture taking and social human being.

It seems to me like he’s going to keep doing his thing. Just not on the open web.

> Why not continue doing your thing?

Writing software or english in the AI era is the same feeling as playing a video game without cheat codes you already beat using cheat codes.

The game is now ruined permanently.

That doesn't ruin a good game. It might spoil a plot-based game. It doesn't ruin a game where you creatively interact with mechanisms and rules, because all a cheat does is push some of those mechanisms and rules aside, so that you skip interacting with the substantial part of the game.

Writing English in the AI era is like going for an hour-long walk in the park, when previously it took you 15 minutes via a crowded subway, where you were stabbed in the neck by a raging lunatic while a nearby passenger blasted Coldplay at 100 dB.

Maybe for you!

Or poison your own writing for AI.

This is the future -- adversarial prose and adversarial source code. It is already working as seen with LLMs citing disinfo directly from Reddit.

No, it really isn't. If you think a 0.1% of writing being "poisoned" is going to trick AI, you're wildly underestimating AI's capabilities.

Research showed AI training could be poisoned by as few as five documents in a training set of millions.

Oh? People keep parroting that but the small detail missing is that there needs to be enough volume of correct information to counter your adversarial disinfo. Otherwise the LLM is one agentic call away from stating it as fact.
