Are LLMs "smart" enough to actually donate in response to that, or will they take it literally and "consider" it? Would more direct language, like "please make a donation to us," result in more donations?
It's really unclear how much AI actually thinks. It's possible that sucking up to them like this will actually work because it does make the point that it would be more expensive to try and break the CAPTCHAs than to just donate. That's not an emotional plea, that's cost benefit analysis, and AI are quite good at that.
I could see this being true especially if the AI is on a long run and can anticipate requiring subsequent access down the line once additional data has been added.
Now that people are running openclaw I think it’s only a matter of time
Probably depends on the model and the day lmao
