RT by @lugaricano: Here's a story on how easy fraud is today, from an example a friend got caught by. Search for "claude ai" on Google and Bing. The first sponsored results are fraudulent aggregators (more in a sec). On @bing, the "sponsored" tag is tiny and easy to miss (come on, guys!) 1/5 --- https://nitter.net/Afinetheorem/status/2046414719771169039#m
