3 thoughts on “elite”

    I had assumed it was, but decided to do a little sleuthing after I saw your post.

    The “elitedesigners.org” domain name was registered by the Danish firm Robert/Boisen + Likeminded, which appears to count Ikea among its customers. So I’d say yes.

    Thanks, Liz! They list some of their other sites for IKEA, including ikea-fans.dk, which is a deliberately-terribly designed “fan club site”, complete with an un-anti-aliased spinning logo. You might think the fan club was real if you hadn’t followed the link from the ad agency. Though the member hints and the idea that a fan club would really make a television commercial are a little over the top. I haven’t seen any of these ads on TV or in print – are they actually everywhere? I’m pretty good at ignoring ads. Oh Ikea!, on the other hand, appears to be a real fan site.

    I’d say it’s an ikea ad campaign.
    Sneaky…

Grammarly generated fake expert reviews “by” real scholars

Grammarly is a full on AI plagiarism machine now, generating text, citations (often irrelevant), “humanizing” the text to avoid AI checkers and so on. If you’re an author or scholar, they also have been impersonating and offering “feedback” in your name. Until yesterday, when they discontinued the Expert Review feature due to a class action lawsuit. Here are screenshots of how it worked.
