Did you know that the internet is literally rife with criminals?
Much like the world, yes. I just didnt know how much people lied.
Unfortunately, AI-authored websites seem to be particularly bad for this, because the LLM’s pattern-matching sees “oh, many websites would have some customer testimonials in this spot” and so happily goes ahead and fabricates some.

It’s mostly that. Even if it’s illegal (and I’m quite sure it’s usually a matter of false advertising and in many countries a civil matter rather than a criminal one), I see so many fake testimonials so often. Even if it’s not fake, they’re easy enough to fabricate by asking a few people “hey, can I put your name under this?”. I am a bit jaded by the internet.
YES. Claude fabricated some on another site i built knowing i had just built it.
I tried this, although I admit that I didn’t really delve into it too deeply, because it felt really slow and a bit clunky, as others have noted. Maybe it’s doing a lot of crunching under the hood to try to maintain narrative coherence that just messing around with ChatGPT won’t, but this is the thing that unfortunately I can’t escape… for me, personally, at least, I’ve had a decent amount of fun playing with alternate history narratives with regular LLMs and I’m struggling to see what this game adds and why I’d pay for it. I understand the answer is probably “it won’t lose the plot” but for me the bit of mental effort required to keep prompting ChatGPT to keep it on the rails and then seeing what it came up with was part of the fun.
