    Not that I’m against telling Reddit to fuck off in no uncertain terms, but won’t providing this kind of poisoning to AI training just make it more resilient to exactly this kind of thing?

      I don’t think so. It’s really hard to sort the poison out of the data, unless you actually have enough reading comprehension to know that it’s gibberish - humans do, bots don’t. And even if they discard 80% of the poison, the 20% there are already screwing with the model.

      They could prevent you from editing your posts/comments, but that would cause an uproar.
