People have been doing this to "protest" AI for years already. AI trainers already do extensive filtering and processing of their training data before they use it to train, the days of simply turning an AI loose on Common Crawl and hoping to get something out of that are long past. Most AIs these days train on synthetic data which isn't even taken directly from the web.
So go ahead and do this, I suppose, if it makes you feel better. It's not likely to have any impact on AIs though.
I love how competent and thorough you think the people creating AI are.
AI is a self selecting industry of serial bullshitters, I am sure they claim to do all the things you say, but I am zero percent convinced of it until I see proof these kinds of anti-AI strategies don't work.
