Here's a fun one: Emanuel made his own ChatGPT-powered news site that ripped off our work and that of WIRED, The Verge, and others to show just how easy spinning up one of these AI click farms really is.

In the subscribers-only section, Sam tells us all about how a bunch of chatbots suddenly changed personality overnight.
