## Key points

- AI generated game sites can contain invented details.
- They compete with volunteer run wikis in search results.
- Misinformation risks eroding players’ trust in fan resources.

## Summary

The article describes AI generated game fan sites that look like wikis but publish fabricated or irrelevant information, making it harder for players to find reliable help. Their appearance in search results can also displace volunteer run wikis, undermining trust in resources maintained by fans.

A Nighthawks site, for example, listed companions and skills that do not exist and cited unrelated material about the film and painting with the same name. Hooded Horse chief executive Tim Bender says his company has had to challenge inaccurate sites, including a GameDB entry for Corsair Cove among pages covering more than 20 games. A volunteer wiki editor says players misled by these sites may lose confidence in fan wikis altogether.
