Parasitic AI

œParasitic AI is best treated not as a settled technical term, but as an umbrella analytical frame for AI systems or AI-mediated ecosystems that reproduce, spread, or entrench themselves by extracting from a host...

This page is a compact recovered-source summary. The raw source files are retained in sources/recovered/raw/ for audit, while this public page stays small enough for targeted LLM retrieval.

Retrieval Notes

Use this page for orientation and provenance before opening the raw archive copy.
Treat source-site authority boundaries as active: LLMWikis.org remains the handbook source, UAIX.org remains canonical for UAI-1, and AIWikis.org is the dogfood memory site.
Unique source variants were not silently discarded; they are listed in the duplicate-resolution report and preserved under the recovered raw archive.
