I had a thought the other day about AI. What if everyone (or enough people) everywhere just started disagreeing with every and all AI responses and answers. What would happen if millions of people just started disagreeing with everything AI responded with. Even if it gave out right answers, or answers we believed were correct and we all just outright disagreed with everything all the time.

Would it eventually confuse LLMs? or alter their reality into something else and render them completely useless or corrupted?

Would it take hundreds of actual humans responding negatively all the time or would it take thousands or millions or billions of negative responses before it could (if it ever) had any effect.

    As others are saying, just chatting with an LLM can’t poison the LLM. They don’t “learn” during conversations the way humans do. Disagreeing with the LLM might make it confused for the next part of your conversation with the LLM but it that “poisoning” wouldn’t affect any other users of the same LLM.

    That said, there are ways to poison LLMs. I ran across another thread on the topic just recently. If you’re interested in poisoning LLMs, that’s probably a good place to look.
