“Maybe it’s more important to influence the agent than even the human, because with a human you influence one person,” Mobian cofounder and CEO Jonah Goodhart told Digiday. “When you influence ChatGPT, you’re influencing potentially all of ChatGPT. If ChatGPT changes what it says about [a brand], it’s massive and it’s more than any one campaign could ever do.”

I was thinking "Hey I want that markdown!" (although maybe not for time magazine), but the actual example is dystopian.

If you want to stare at the abyss it's achievable with curl -H 'user-agent: ClaudeBot' https://url_to_article, and it's like 70% SEO crap tailored to brainwash LLMs (more realistically "agents" in limited context).
