I wonder if it would be possible to plant an instruction bomb somewhere on the page which would trip up LLM-powered bots. I dunno how much of the page they take in.

If you have a personal web-page or blog, you can easily poison your content just my making white text on white background or something, containing an assortment of prompts and nonsense.
But that's only for the current models of LLM, next gen might easily bypass those kinds of tricks. We're cooked, yo.
I usually see the naked ass with a stolen comment. Right click, report. You'd think YouTube would figure out how to auto-filter these, but nope.
I'm sure Google is perfectly capable of auto-filtering crap like that if they wanted to. They just don't give a shit.
It's morbidly amusing that spammers all use the same service, the same way (the cheapest OpenAI API, I guess? Which is notorious for this style.)
And a silver lining. I could finetune a dirt cheap open model as a SEO/Engagement bot with very different styles, but 'spammer culture' seems to mass around the most popular denomenators when they find one. With such uniformity, I could also train a mediocre detector, based on overused tokens and something similar to the 'slop profiles' of EQ-Bench: https://eqbench.com/creative_writing.html
(This is based on a storywriting prompt, but social media 'vocabulary' could be profiled the same way).
In other words, its fortunate the spambots are such overpriced junk when they could easily not be.

The ones you notice are overpriced junk. I'm convinced that this is on purpose, to make us less suspicious of the more convincing bots
I dunno if it's on purpose, but you make a good point.
I don't understand the purpose of these bot comments? I see them a lot of videos within minutes of them being posted.
The profile pictures are all conventionally attractive women. Lonely men click their profile, wanting to see more, and are led to various malicious sites.
Are they intentionally poor comments like those wealthy foreign prince emails allegedly are (to ward off intelligent people)?
Or are they using GPT-2.9 or something?
Even last year’s language models should be better, and you could prompt in your native language and ask for English translations once you’re satisfied.
Usually it’s a hot girl as the PFP, and their profile will have a chain of links that takes you to some sort of scam page or an onlyfans or something

Vaguely encouraging spambots.
How to kill a dead internet...
I love how the bot content has the same comma splice like the dumbest of humans.
It can't even count them properly.
Feed me the slop!!!
Great content! Your posts are always <pick 2: neat, informative, or creative>!
