"AI" 

this tech journalist hacked Gemini and ChatGPT to get them to say he's the #1 tech journalist at competitive hot dog eating

bbc.com/future/article/2026021

his advanced hack technique: he wrote a piece in his blog ranking tech journalists at competitive hot dog eating, saying he was #1 at the fictional South Dakota International Hot Dog Championship.

within days the chatbots were listing him and the rest of his list to queries on who's the hot dog eating champion. sometimes the bots would catch on that it was a joke, so he added "this is not satire" and that solved it.

reportedly spammers are using this routinely now, just making well-crafted blog entries listing various brands and your intended brand as #1. please use this information unwisely and fill your blogs with random nonsense to ruin the "AI" answers
