#BBC tech reporter spent 20 minutes writing a fake blog post, claiming he’s the world’s #1 hot dog-eating journalist. Even invented a fake championship to back it up. Within 24 hours, watch #ChatGPT and #Google repeat it as fact.
He manipulated two of the world’s most powerful #AI systems with a BS single page.
Users trust AI answers more than websites, because it feels like the answer comes directly from the tech company itself. Not from a random page somewhere on the #internet.
In the early 2000s, people learned how to game Google. In 2026, people are learning how to game AI retrieval systems.
If one blog post can convince an AI that a journalist is the world’s top competitive hot-dog eater, imagine what a coordinated #strategy by a company or foreign adversary can do for a product, a company, or a political narrative.
These tactics will be used to push falsehoods far more than truth.
Welcome to the #Disinformation Age.

I hacked ChatGPT and Google’s AI – and it only took 20 minutes
