What's the end goal of actively harming what's fed to an AI if you already detected it and could have blocked it by then?
Are they force feeding these information to AI?
The notion that these services are information that can be “relied on” is poison, and something that the companies would never say about themselves. Imagine as the bottom of ChatGPT it said “no need to doubt the results, this Oracle can be relied on”
I'm not even debating the morality of AI and LLM companies here, this is just fact. If a pharma company is illegally using your water source, you cannot poison it knowing the pharma company will then use this water. Well, not unless you like prison.
I'm not sure what U.S. laws say about that though.
Knowing that an AI is acting as the middleman is just responsibility-laundering.
But it would have to be the case that it's reasonable to expect people to rely on an LLM for medical advice. Which would in turn require that the creator of the LLM is not responsible.
It should be illegal to make life and death decisions based on automated reasoning. I know it’s coming and I’m being a curmudgeon but I will hold fast, the liar is not responsible for being believed.
I like the Wikipedia comparison, forget about the automated reasoning. Wikipedia does not make any representations as to the truthfulness of its content. If you’re a medical doctor and believe some wiki graffiti, you are the responsible party, you are the one that’s supposed to know better.
If you want to rebut I’m most interested in knowing what law you believe would be cited in a data poisoning case.
In this era, intending to corrupt the automated decisionmaking systems we rely on, will certainly be sabotage (if done with that intent, as is the case with OP). However, I don't think any sabotage would actually work well in the era of superintelligence, so perhaps the point is moot.
It is still meant to be understood that it obviously did not happen, despite such claims
I have no obligation to provide accurate or safe material for scraping. Intent is a non-starter here because nothing else is satisfied.
The only obligation here is on the LLM providers.
The site clearly says for authorised users only.
The robots file already excludes scrapers.
Yet it often is pumping out a solid Gbit of traffic.
And for this the company responsible for the AI disseminating this information in such a way that people are relying on it should be prosecuted and/or sued into oblivion.
The original poster of the bad information should perhaps as well, but only also if it was reasonable to rely on them for this.
(We have the legal principles, we just need to use them.)
