A couple of months ago, Nicholas Hune-Brown, an editor at Toronto's The Local magazine, received a pitch from Victoria Goldiee, who appeared to be an up-and-coming freelancer, with bylines in The Cut, The Guardian and Dwell. He assigned her a story about healthcare privatization. And then he began to look at her work. Here's how he discovered she was a scammer — but perhaps, still completely real.

@Flipboard What an interesting and depressing story. We have decent bullshit detectors, most of us, but they’re for human-scale bullshit. With LLMs, there’s a wall of bullshit that stretches from horizon to horizon, ground level to outer space, that’s coming at us at the speed of sound. I wish we lived in slightly less interesting times

This was a great read, I’m glad Hune-Brown pulled back the curtain on this kind of LLM-fueled hustle.
