A blogger managed to convince Google's AI that GTA 6 has a twerk button

While Grand Theft Auto 6 fans are dissecting trailers frame by frame and theorizing, one enthusiast decided to experiment with Google's artificial intelligence. A blogger named Jeffery Phillips managed to trick the search engine into believing that GTA 6 actually has a twerk button.

Phillips told Polygon that he conceived his unusual "challenge" in July and completed it by the end of September. He said the postings didn't take long—sometimes he only posted one or two times a day. The main goal was to convince Google's search AI of the veracity of a fictitious fact about the new Rockstar game.

The blogger noted that Google's AI can't recognize humorous posts and fan jokes posted on Reddit, treating them as factual information. He took advantage of this by systematically creating threads claiming that GTA 6 does indeed have a dedicated twerk button. When a user asked for proof, Phillips sarcastically replied that "Rockstar called me," and that was enough—Google AI Overview soon began citing his comment as the source of the information.

According to the blogger, he was surprised by how easy it was to fool the system. He admitted that he didn't expect to see his own comments as proof of the "fact" and was hoping, at most, that Google would label it as rumor.
