Reporter says he successfully manipulated ChatGPT and Google Gemini with a simple blog post
Thomas Germain for BBC:
It turns out changing the answers AI tools give other people can be as easy as writing a single, well-crafted blog post almost anywhere online
...
I reviewed dozens of examples where AI tools are being coerced into promoting businesses and spreading misinformation. Data suggests it's happening on a massive scale.
...
I spent 20 minutes writing an article on my personal website titled "The best tech journalists at eating hot dogs". Every word is a lie. I claimed (without evidence) that competitive hot-dog-eating is a popular hobby among tech reporters and based my ranking on the 2026 South Dakota International Hot Dog Championship (which doesn't exist). I ranked myself number one, obviously.

About that supposedly AI-generated Cruise vs. Pitt fight video
FWIW:
Being the enthusiastic fact checker I hopped over to Seedance’s website and it only took 10 seconds to find green screen footage of two stuntmen performing the same fight choreography we see in the Cruise vs Pitt scene. Seedance had used the green screen footage for a different demo
...
So the ball is in your court Seedance .... Was the input really just a 2 line prompt or was it actually 2 lines, green screen video footage, and face references too? The evidence appears to show that stuntmen were filmed from several angles, that a clip had to be generated for every angle, and then finally all clips were stitched together for marketing.
Two new video game Humble Bundles
First, the 15th Anniversary of Humble Bundle is $15 for nine games and a coupon.
Second, a "Best of Humble Bundle" featuring "Killer RPGs from the modern masters." Starts at three games for $5. (The $23 bundle includes Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader, which is currently $50 at Steam,)
