[QUOTE="Admin, post: 59967, member: 1"] Congratulations to the Destiny 2 game community, which after several days of hard work and enthusiasm has managed to [URL='https://techbriefly.com/2023/07/26/find-secret-boss-glorbo-in-destiny-2/']make Glorbo happen[/URL]. If that above sentence made absolutely no sense to you, don't worry: it's (mostly) not supposed to. You see, Glorbo isn't real. But it's quickly turning into a real trend that MMO community members are using to trick AI websites into writing about fake trends in their beloved games, effectively exposing websites that are using AI to scrub communities and generate nonsensical headlines. [H2]The return of Glorbo[/H2] The whole thing [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/world-of-warcraft-players-trick-ai-website-into-covering-fictional-update-known-only-as-glorbo']started last week with World of Warcraft[/URL], when a community member came up with the genius idea to trick AI websites into writing about a fake topic by [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/154umm2/im_so_excited_they_finally_introduced_glorbo/']making a Reddit post[/URL] expressing enthusiasm for "glorbo" being added to the game.

Since then, the Destiny 2 community has gotten in on the joke, and in the last several days the Destiny 2 subreddit has been [URL='https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=glorbo']absolutely stuffed with Glorboposting[/URL]. And today, they too managed to trick an AI into writing a sincere article about the trend. The article itself makes almost no sense at all, including a section asking, "How to find the Destiny 2 secret boss Glorbo?" that fails to answer this question entirely, and repeatedly seeming to confuse whether Glorbo is a boss, a bug, or a secret strat throughout the article. It does appear to be drawing on actual boss strategies, including a mention of Simmumah Ur-Noku from the recent Ghosts of the Deep Dungeon, but everything Glorbo-related is absolute silliness.
