ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, and Claude create fake links to reputable news sites

The AI-companies exploit user trust, manipulate perception, and either mislead, profit, or damage public discourse. The strategy works because users often don't closely inspect URLs - they trust the brand name at a glance.

DPCMO has taken action towards the AI-companies as this must stop ASAP. The practice violates Danish regulation, erodes credibility, breaks the information chain, enables misinformation, damages discoverability and undermines a healthy information ecosystem.

Fake links don’t rhyme with missions statements as reliable AI-systems, which benefit humanity and cater to the world’s curiosity.
