I recently spent far too much time creating a wholly unnecessary (but nice to have) app with Gemini. Everything worked perfectly in the private sandbox environment, but we couldn’t get the final Wordpress embed to function (Wordpress security?), despite numerous of Gemini’s over-confident assertions that “this time it will definitely work”. I now have Netifly, Github Gist and Pages accounts I didn’t know I needed. Talk about yak shaving!

Tbf to AI, I know (of) a few very successful plausible bullshitters, and most of them are all over the internet it’s trained on.

This is brilliant – a piece told in screenshots (which is probably an accessibility nightmare…) showing how ChatGPT’s confident tone can make complete bullshit seem plausible at first.
