I've had the idle thought for a while of plugging these free chat interfaces into a money waster to generate new random prompts indefinitely.

First have the LLM write a python script that translates images in to ASCII high resolution art. Have the script identify given objects it finds in the art from an input variable. Point that script at Captchas. Profit?

Ah, like a meta search engine but for commercial LLM fronts!

NOTHING is impossible! You gotta work HARD AT IT!

Just make them talk to each other and take their response and just wrap it with something like “I was thinking about , do you have a recommendation?” Then feed that response into the next one in a giant loop of fast food bots…

Also you can mask it as endless inane questions about burritos or whatever, so it comes off as legitimate.

They'll see Ai as a failure when only 0.01% of those interactions result in a sale. Lol

Ask the bot to make it for you.

You can access the Windows 11 cooplilot API easily, but since MS has basically unlimited compute, I never bothered to make a token burning program. Tokens cost them truly nothing.

The inference part of these products is comparability cheap. The training has been the expensive part generally which is what drives the cost.

Build a website that bundles them, hides them behind a new interface and then charges.

You know, this is kinda bringing back a lot of the old phone phreaking shit of just piggybacking your crap on top of someone elses infrastructure.

Ive been a similar idle thought for awhile, abusing file attachments on popular sites to waste bandwidth and storage

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I want someone to make an AI that just prompts other AI
