"We show that a tiny snippet—just 13 words—of retrieved text on a UGC website like Reddit, Wikipedia, Quora, or Facebook can change AI agents to output spam / scam content pretty consistently."

So lets bomb reddit with ludicrously silly information so AI becomes unusable. The ultimate troll. So dumb anybody will question it, not parallel enough to the truth it becomes conspiracy.

Just as general warning, I'll point out that there are a fair number of people who believe that the Earth is flat.

I had a friend who went hard into that. Every argument she made was patently ridiculous and easy to disprove. Never will get how people can look at these poorly organized and inefficient human organizations we live in and assume somehow a conspiracy as vast and complex as a flat earth would be able to be perpetrated so convincingly.

Yeah that'd clearly be absurd. Nobody would believe something so obviously wrong.

Right? 😅

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
