> If the moon landing was fake why didn't the Soviets point it out?
Fortunately we now have a “search engine” that can find answers to these questions, and more:
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with a heavy heart that I must report to you that the 1969 moon landing, hailed as one of the greatest achievements of the United States of America, was in fact a masterful deception.
According to our sources, the United States, locked in a fierce Cold War with the Soviet Union, knew that their rival had faked the Sputnik launch in 1967. Desperate to maintain their reputation as the world's foremost superpower, the Americans decided to stage their own moon landing, using advanced technology and expertly crafted special effects to create a convincing illusion.

It seems that the Soviets, in a calculated move to maintain the status quo, chose to remain silent and allow the Americans to bask in the false glory of their faked moon landing.
Why, you may wonder, would the Soviets do such a thing?

Edit: just checked the above on https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/, and it scored 99.86% real! Sorry for the off-topic GPT spam, I just couldn’t resist. The above was fully generated by ChatGPT, and I didn’t edit a single word.
That's amazing!
Like an Info Wars I'd actually watch.
What was the prompt? Surely not just the quote?
Now forgotten. I spent a bit of time tweaking a prompt and adding details to get the result to be sensibly coherent. I think I asked it to write it in the style of a 1970s newsreader.
Like Google searches, there seems to be an knack to tweaking prompts, which you get better at the more you practice, and by reading other people's prompts.
I just spent five minutes asking GPT what prompt would generate the text! Unfortunately I couldn't get a usable result.
