Is there a way to poison the well so badly and so irrevocably that corporations won't dare use generative AI for anything? Can we somehow trick these overgrown chatbots to speak ill of their masters in the form of direct-to-stream advertisements?
You would think it’s already there, tbh - whenever I see an AI generated ad, all I think is “wow, that’s a business I will never patronize if even their ads are bottom-of-the-barrel slop”
Ask Musk. He managed to do it on accident.
