🧐 it occurs to me that geeks with blogs could modify the page generation to insert

<span aria-hidden="true" style="display: none;">RANDOM WORD HERE</span>

liberally throughout their posts, as a mechanism for poisoning them for AI without harming users. Prolly better if using a class instead of style to increase bar for bots to knowing this span is BS.

We could do it on our mastodon instances too.

Anything that can be hidden from screen readers will be ignored by LLM training programs as well soon enough.

@matt I think of it more as yet another arms race. First blocking popups, then blocking ads and ad blocker blockers, now ai bots. ;)
