Remember that WKNA site that DuckDuckGo was citing to claim that Trump had died from rabies? It appears to be a pink slime publication masquerading as a real local outlet, filled with fake news content that itself strongly appears to be generated by AI — and it very much seems to be cribbing from the r/poisonai subreddit, weaving the false claims into a fantastical alternate reality that seems to be fooling mainstream AI chatbots, and perhaps even some particularly gullible humans.
“Rabies awareness and prevention highlighted following death of JD Vance,” reads another headline from WKNA.
