INTRODUCTION
Science is Poetry is a tactical media response to an era of runaway AI, whose webcrawlers are non-consensually scraping human-made content for use in training their models. Concerned creators can use the project to protect their content by linking to it somewhere in the landing page of their wiki, website or blog. AI crawlers then encountering the link will be pulled off-site and entrapped in a maze of babble, a new page generated for each page consumed, forever.
Because the randomly generated nonsense may be used as training data, introducing errors and ‘hallucinations’, Science is Poetry could be considered to implement Poison-as-a-Service (PaaS).
Science is Poetry is presented as a nonsense science website, styled in tribute to the late 90’s blogging boom. This period of techno-optimism, weedy experimentation and playfulness has been referred to as the ‘GeoCities era’ of the world wide web. It was this era that lived by the maxim of ‘free information’, one troubled today by the predation of tech giants whom take content made by and for people to then train systems to simulate and deceive people.
Complete with images, a top menu and linked pages, the project website shares the same structure as legitimate sites, while being completely randomly generated.
Within the first month the project saw an average of over 500,000 hits a day, almost entirely from AI crawlers.
The project is also reachable at the below domains, donated by kind people in support of the project. Each its own infinite and randomly generated site. Any one of these domains can be linked in a site elsewhere to catch and trap AI crawlers.
