Destiny 2 players haveꩵ joined their World of Warcraft brethren in fooling AI-written artic🔯les with a fake character.

Earlier this month, WoW players decided to run a little social♍ experiment. A few of them gathered toge✤ther on the game's subreddit to laud the arrival of Glorbo, a prestigious character new to the MMO. The character was entirely fake, of course, but AI bots weren't going🔯 to know that, so some reported on the thing treating Glorbo as fact. 

Now Destiny 2 fans have got in on the fun. Just like their WoW counterparts, the community made several Reddit posts earlier this week heralding the famed Glorbo, ꦦand AI writers for at least two websites swallowed the bait whole. In case you needed another example oꩲf why AI writing and publishing is a silly idea inherently doomed to fail with numerous errors along the way.

It's fascinating to see Glorbo take on new characteristics as the Destiny 2 community runs wild with ꦜthe idea. Some casual players are because they haven't been able to fight him yet. entirely because it's "just a stupid cash grab" (absolutely, positively couldn't be Destiny players). Others reckon in Destiny 2's long tradition of hidden missions. I'm starting to wish Glorbo was real.  

"A WHOPPING ꦉ500 DAMAGE," says one Reddit comment skewering the AI post, noting their "primary sidearm is casually doing 7k damage per second lol." Who would've thought a story with an AI byline would completely miss the most basic details and systems of the game it's covering൩. 

Apropos of absolutely nothing, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SAG-AFTRA strikes are still rolling on, weeks after the union initially announced a joint strike between actors and writers. One of the issues both professions are striking over is movie studios utilizing AI for acting 𓆏and 🐎writing purposes, as well as pay for both actors and writers on Hollywood productions.

SAG-AFTRA said studios declined to re-start strike negotiations as recently as earlier this week, meaning the strikes are far from over.
