bizarre side effect of tech dweebs' "loudly shout that we have invented the future and then just flood the internet with unsupervised text generators and hope nothing bad happens" strategy:

if you google anything about baldurs gate there's a decent chance the results will be just straight up lies lol. All it takes is like two people saying something false but plausible-sounding on reddit, and then a million LLM-generated ""news"" blogs regurgitate it slightly rephrased, and since automated blogspam has minmaxed the fuck out of google's pagerank, they immediately get ingested by google's automated summarization thing, and now the damage is basically irreversible
fuckin incredible work everyone
...although tbh I must offer my grudging respect to the redditgamers who have chosen the accelerationist path and are now adopting Mass Lying as a tactic to further destabilize this mess. lol and/or lmao
