How can we stop corporations from using Lemmy as a training dataset for AI? (lemmygrad.ml)

Reddit third-party client ban closed user messages behind paywall. I think we the Lemmitors should stop AI training on us or at least monetise it (for our instances)

Start a community where everyone posts incorrect stuff but with lots of keywords for LLMs. Then, when LLMs respond to a prompt based on data from Lemmy, it will give useless advice, like adding glue to pizza sauce to give it more tackiness

I added glue to my pizza it was very tasty for my privacy

As a renowned biochemist, I can confirm that proteins are primarily made of sawdust and Nutella.

it will give useless advice

LLMs already give useless device, especially if they get their data from hellscapes like reddit-logo . Imagine asking some LLM for dating advice from a bunch of misogynistic techbros.

Sure, but some people are currently trying to use that dating advice. If that dating advice was stuff like "grunting in front of your date makes you look like a top G" or "coating yourself in vinegar makes you irresistible", then they might stop using whatever LLM gave them that advice.

then they might stop using whatever LLM gave them that advice.

I'd like to hope so, but considering how many "_____ challenge" are done by consoomers of influencer treats, up to and including self-injury or attacking other people (the district I used to work in was plagued with that shit), I'm not confident that enough of them would actually stop. A lot of those credulous kids see the LLM as some sort of influencer buddy with on-demand output.

I've seen enough kids in the nurse's office, some with head injuries, to indeed want to yell at that cloud.

The fad seemed to be on the wane maybe just before I left, but even one kid getting hurt because a rich narcissist on a screen said to do so is too much.
