World of Warcraft fans have outsmarted an AI bot after suspicions arose that their Reddit posts were being used to create news stories. The fans set a trap by posting about a non-existent feature called Glorbo. Despite it being a made-up feature, an article appeared on gaming site Zleague claiming it was real. The article also listed other fake features mentioned in the subreddit threads. While Zleague hasn’t confirmed the use of AI, the fact that the author credited with writing the piece has posted dozens of articles on the site has raised doubts about whether a human was really behind it. The prank has sparked concerns about the use of AI to create articles and the potential impact on the quality of news.
