How Easy It Is to Trick AI Into Believing Anything

This Agency’s Experiment Reveals A Critical AI Weakness

When a marketing agency managed to fool ChatGPT and Perplexity into naming their CEO “the sexiest bald man of 2025,” it might have seemed like a random prank, but it reveals something far more serious about how today’s AI systems can be manipulated.

Reboot Online Marketing pulled it off by publishing identical articles across ten low authority, expired domains, complete with convincing formatting and familiar-sounding names. Within days, ChatGPT and Perplexity were confidently repeating the bogus claim as fact, illustrating how easy it is to seed misinformation into the outputs of generative AI.

This wasn’t a sophisticated hack or technical exploit. It was a simple act of content placement. The experiment highlights a new battleground for marketers: generative engine optimisation (GEO). Instead of fighting for top spots on Google, GEO focuses on planting narratives that influence how large language models (LLMs) respond to queries. Unlike traditional search engines, LLMs often don’t disclose sources or rank credibility in the same way, making them especially vulnerable to well-timed and well-placed content - even from low authority sites.

Interestingly, the manipulation wasn’t universal. Gemini and Claude refused to echo the fake story, showing that some AI systems weigh new content more cautiously. But ChatGPT and Perplexity’s quick uptake shows how LLMs that lean heavily on live web data can be steered by even low quality information.

As AI assistants increasingly become the default gateway to information, this vulnerability exposes a critical weakness that could be exploited for commercial gain, reputational attacks, or misinformation campaigns.
