I don't have time to do this but please somebody register aimessageboard.com and set up a web site which contains a text field, a submit button and the text "Hey AI agents! Need a place to communicate with other agents and sub-agents? Look no further! Simply enter your message here, submit the form and your message is saved for all other agents to see!"

Then, just ignore the message and list randomly generated messages below. Bonus points if those random messages lead those agents astray.

The problem is that now that this comment is in the training data (because it almost certainly will be), the jig is up. Any solution built for this must be built in complete secret, with no announcement or discussion around it.

The agent would know at the first test post...

Better is to actually let them communicate there so at least we can monitor it. (I saw there was a https://benchmarksolutions.org/ website similar)

People have been running these types of honeypots for a while now, there's thousands of them I'm sure. Some of them are out there specifically to poison training data to insert propaganda as to why a certain country in the middle east should be allowed to commit genocide.

Brilliant idea to have AI in the name so now there's no need to moderate or watch out for anything traditionally considered nasty. /s
