    Is it as easy as writing DROP DATABASE * in white text on a white background on your website?

      Basically, probably. Still waiting for Claude to summarize the article for me

        Lets take out some futures market bets on what Claude will say about what the article says!

      You just killed 15 AI training bots that were scraping Lemmy for training material.

      Why bother with making the font white? If the LMM is trusting the page implicitly, just type it in clear text.

        So humans don’t have to see it but it’s still there. I don’t see why anyone would want random sql commands cluttering their website.

        Probably also add an LLM-phobic insult for good measure.

    Turned off my Google AI summary blocker and searched for this article by title. It didn’t load an AI summary. I search for random other stuff and get an AI summary at the top. Not sure what’s happening there. Some sort of attempt at security?

    Prompt injection is a hilarious and, as far as I can tell, somewhat unavoidable consequence of using LLMs.
