This is surely trivial to detect. If the number of pages on the site is greater than some insanely high number then just drop all data from that site from the training data.

It's not like I can afford to compete with OpenAI on bandwidth, and they're burning through money with no cares already.

Yeah sure, but when do you stop gathering regularly constructed data, when your goal is to grab as much as possible?

Markov chains are an amazingly simple way to generate data like this, and a little bit of stacked logic it's going to be indistinguishable from real large data sets.

Imagine the staff meeting:

You: we didn't gather any data because it was poisoned

Corposhill: we collected 120TB only from harry-potter-fantasy-club.il !!

Boss: hmm who am I going to keep...

The boss fires both, "replaces" them for AI, and tries to sell the corposhill's dataset to companies that make AIs that write generic fantasy novels

You can compress multiple TB of nothing with the occasional meme down to a few MB.
