So AI taxes power, water for cooling, and other natural resources to be ramped up and used. Now this creates a second wasteful AI to do the same and create an endless loop so that the first AI just keeps spinning its wheels and wasting resources until discovered. The idea makes sense from a pure “stop unauthorized crawling” perspective, but damn we just have no solutions that don’t accelerate climate impact. This planet is just going to turn into an oven to cook us.

Working Class Jesus, save us all!

AI against AI “spinning their wheels” i.e. costing us all insane amounts of energy/money/resources/
Plus, you know “(whether this approach effectively prevents misinformation, however, remains unproven)”.

Also, they seem to have forgotten that their AI also needs to gather learning data from somewhere?

One of these days SkyNet will gain self-awareness!

I dream of captchas showing a glass of wine asking whether the glass is filled to the brim.

What if these traps would be generated everywhere. If each site had one. You could not train a model anymore, and except from intensely curated content. That would be interesting.
