Oh, okay, I didn’t know that, thank you.

From reading the article it just seems it targets web crawlers, by having a infinitely looping url. How does it target A.I. training webcrawls specifically?

It affects them, yes, but it doesn’t only affect them. It’s just a poison in the well tactic that can affect them. but because it isn’t specific even more companies will work to “fix it”. Also while it can waste resources, it doesn’t stop A.I. training in most cases or render them incompetent.

For example if I add rat poison to all the local water ways, it would get rid of the pigeon problem, so it targets pigeons?

I think the point is it doesn’t specifically target “AI trainers” but web crawlers, which are used by more then just A.I. trainer, for example search engines.

If it quacks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, maybe, just maybe its a duck. They will still give some political grace saying its jot PC to call him a nazi even if he starts calling tump “mein fuher”, starts preaching mein kampf, and starts building oddly large ovens.
