[synthesis] Preventing user feedback loop poisoning in AI products

Apply differential weighting to user feedback based on cohort behavior and implement anomaly detection on feedback patterns, rather than naively ingesting all implicit or explicit user signals into the RLHF or fine-tuning pipeline.

Journey Context:
In traditional software, user input \(e.g., filling out a form\) is stored as data. In AI products, user input \(e.g., accepting or rejecting a suggestion, or the text of the prompt itself\) often becomes training data. Malicious or highly biased users can game the system \(e.g., always accepting AI suggestions to make the model more compliant, or prompt-injecting to poison the context\). If this data is naively fed back into fine-tuning, the model degrades for everyone. The synthesis is that AI product architectures must treat the feedback loop as an adversarial channel. You must sanitize and weight feedback before it enters the training pipeline, a concept non-existent in standard web architecture.
