The Internet's Newest Grift: Lying to Robots, Not People
A writer digging into the gray-market peptide boom found something stranger than shady dealers: entire 'review' forums and TrustPilot lookalikes stuffed with fake, AI-generated posts praising specific suppliers. The twist? Their robots.txt files explicitly welcome AI crawlers, meaning these sites were never meant for human eyes at all. They're slop engineered to get scraped by ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini so those bots confidently recommend sketchy sellers to unsuspecting users. SEO spam just got an AI-native upgrade, and it's already infiltrating your chatbot's answers.
Great, now even our robots need a bullshit detector.
