just saw this fake 'review' on the web - offered via google - about the Leica M11-P : the content is pretty wrong and incorrect such as "stealthier shutter", "40MP sensor" and "autofocus" and more...  it looks to me as if some stupid (ro)bot got it quite wrong while merging various web sources about cameras :

medium.com review about M11-P

did anybody else see such ?

Indeed that could apply to virtually all modern cameras of the last few decades.

I have some Nikon lenses with af (that) squeaks but I haven't had the pleasure of a camera as you say.  Perhaps a Holga?  

For those that want the answer 😁

Google should offer a filter for search results that omits AI-written articles. The AI Google has should be powerful enough to detect AI articles at the same time as the URL is crawled by their bots. Their AI will probably always be a step ahead of what is available to the average user.

Vincent Vega was one of the three protagonists (alongside Jules Winnfield and Butch Coolidge) of Quentin Tarantino's 2nd film Pulp Fiction.

You beat me to it. And the fake photo. When you click on his 'about' page, it lists skills and work history. But I suspect he is fake. The article to so obviously fake. 

Some people might call this FRAUD. I had recently read something I liked on Medium and was considering subscribing. Not any more (though I'm going to write to them to ask that they prove 'Vincent Vega' is real, and that he physically received a copy of the M11-P for review, since the review states 'I’ve always loved taking photos, but it wasn’t until I got my hands on a Leica M11-P that I genuinely fell in love with photography.', and 'Here are some specific examples of how the Leica M11-P has improved my photography:', etc...

And what does Medium have to say on its About Us page? The opening line is 'Medium is a home for human stories and ideas.'

If they reply I will update this thread.

Sounds like an AI stunt but at least it got the title of the camera correct.

This sort of garbage is even commoner for more mainstream cameras. I pity the new purchaser of a Nikon mirrorless looking for an instruction book for their camera on Amazon.

This one doesn't just have the usual dead filler prose, but some particularly bizarre AI renderings of the camera:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/NIKON-Z9-CAMERA-GUIDE-Beginner-ebook/dp/B0C33X31BQ

This one would get points for a creative title if it hadn't been brainlessly plagiarised from a review (like most of the text in the Kindle preview):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-Z9-Guide-beginner-Absolute/dp/B0B9QS5216

And they charge money for this stuff.

I always wait for a review from a reliable source. I expect Ikanagas will get to this model soon.

now we know : 'D' as digital... !  thank you, Anbaric, for this funny/fake/professional 'review' !

though to folks on the street i usually introduce my M10-D as a manual mechanic camera, deliberately leaving out the keyword 'digital', so to make it a fake-analog box - and so to adhere to the original topic of fakeism in our discussion here :)
