Google's AI thinks I left a Gatorade bottle on the moon
Google's NotebookLLM is the first AI podcast I'd actually listen to. Give it a web page or document, and it will generate you a podcast about it.
If it's this easy to detect an AI and provide it a "special" set of facts, you'd better believe people are already doing it all over the web.
Then, when the AI searches the web to assist with an answer, it won't just find lies, but weaponized lies: content designed specifically for LLM manipulation.
So next time you ask your LLM of choice for advice on something, and you notice it's searching the web to prepare an answer, be aware that its response is potentially compromised by tactics like this - even if you can't see them with your own eyes when you check the sources.
I'd read that NotebookLLM was easy to steer by feeding it fake "producer show notes", so that's how I typed my fake story.
