Redditor Tricks AI Bots with Fake World of Warcraft Feature

A Redditor on the World of Warcraft sub-Reddit has managed to trick the AI ​​bots that crawled the site for news stories into believing that Glorbo is a real feature and will be introduced into the game.

“Honestly,”kaefer_krigerinThe post starts.“This new feature makes me so happy! I just really wish some major bot-run news site would publish an article about this. Have to say, since they started hinting at Hearthstone in 1994, it’s clear that sooner or later they’re going to introduce Globo to WoW. I feel like Dragonfly has won game after game so far, like they brought back Chen Stout as the final boss in the new Karazhan? Absolutely amazing!

Then, a media outlet mentioned it in a now-deleted article titled “World of Warcraft Players Excited About Glorbo’s Intro.” Glorbo sounds like it came straight out of those Rick and Morty interstellar TV episodes. If it had tried, it couldn’t have been more fake, but it’s interesting that AI bots looking for news stories can be manipulated in this way.
