I cannot think of any other reason why the new blog post wouldn't have mentioned the obvious connection to the earlier issues that they had. They want to make it seem like ChatGPT invented this use case but they know that the sample code that ChatGTP learned from was mentioned in their previous blog post.

There's a vast chasm between "whoever wrote this article didn't think to link to a similar issue a year ago" and "the first incident was a malicious hoax".

    That's another apparently evidence-free accusation. Is there some undisclosed bad blood here?

      No history at all. Do you have any undisclosed relationship? Hmm. My post was getting traction then suddenly its downvoted to the bottom. Maybe it was a social media management platform. Do you know anyone who runs one of those?

        You broke the site guidelines pretty badly in this thread, even stooping to personal attacks. We ban accounts that do that, so please don't do that. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    Ed is my co-founder, he writes all our blog posts because I suck I writing. He also does more than half of our podcast episodes https://thegeomob.com/podcast https://thegeomob.com/podcast (the guy on the left). Last I saw him (yesterday) he was real.

    Just re-checked the org chart. There's no social media personal assistant.

  I don't understand the original comment to suggest that. Rather: it's a known issue. ChatGPT does nothing new, and certainly doesn't do it by itself -- it just rehashes what others have already written. Like Google might send you visitors for something that's not even present on your website because others link to you mentioning it. What the comment suggested was that they're now bringing this up again to get attention (and links) since it's combined with ChatGPT. That's not "malicious", but it's also not exactly "wow, we just realized this happens".

    What the comment suggested is that the company deliberately created tools using their own API in a wrong way in order to write a blog post about it. If that's not an accusation of being malicious I don't know what could be.
