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

I suffered this scammy search results when trying to download Whisper ai. Google and Microsoft are responsible for enabling the fraud, by allowing misleading sponsored results.
