From #schneier:

World of Warcraft players wrote about a fictional game element, “Glorbo,” on a subreddit for the game, trying to entice an AI bot to write an article about it.

And it…worked. Zleague auto-published a post titled “World of Warcraft Players Excited For Glorbo’s Introduction.”

[…]

That is…all essentially nonsense. The article was left online for a while but has finally been taken down (here’s a mirror, it’s hilarious). All the authors listed as having bylines on the site are fake. It appears this entire thing is run with close to zero oversight.
