Brace yourself for a wave of AI-generated Nikon rumors, where scammers are too lazy to even write a clickbait blog post

Fake AI image of clickbait website generating fake Nikon rumors with AI

Brace yourself for a new world of AI-generated Nikon rumors.

Your favorite scammers behind the well-known clickbait websites are now too lazy even to write a blog post with some made-up specs of a non-existing camera or a lens. They are now using AI to write Nikon rumor posts – in this case, about the Nikon Z9II (and a few others). I ran some of the text on the available free AI content detector websites (for example, gptzero.me), and the results are exactly what I expected:



These websites should not exist. Please don’t give them any clicks. Let them die the slow death they deserve. If a website never reported a single rumor that materialized later, there is a zero chance that they will have the latest scoop on the Nikon Z9II.

The Nikon pictures and text in this blog post are generated by AI
