WoW and Destiny 2 fans trick AI-written sites with made-up boss 'Glorbo'

This is great. Last week WoW fans on the subreddit invented a fictional character to trick AI-assisted websites, which duly fell for it. Then Destiny fans did the same thing:

Via Polygon, which has a link to an AI site that fell for it:

I'm sure AI will soon get clever enough to recognise these ploys (the WoW thread openly says "I want some major bot operated news websites to publish an article about this") but in the meantime it's an excellent illustration of its many shortcomings.

All hail Glorbo.

Most Google searches I do now I add Reddit on the end. Google results are full of so many SEO optimized sites/pages full of words but empty of real information.

I look forward to being able to do the same thing with 'Just About' ;-)
