Debunking the AI food delivery hoax that fooled Reddit
Summary
Platformer’s Debunking the AI food delivery hoax examines how a whistleblower used AI-generated evidence to support a viral Reddit post, and how the reporter uncovers the deception by verifying sources, spotting fake artifacts (including a Gemini-generated badge), and scrutinizing an 18-page document that mixed plausible AI content with nonsensical claims. The piece highlights broader concerns about AI-assisted disinformation and the importance of rigorous verification in journalism.
