It's no mystery that there's a lot of false information on the internet for AI to feed on. Like, a lot. However, not all of this false information is being presented as true facts. Publications such as The Onion specializevvvv in writing satire and intentionally ridiculous fake articles. On April Fools' Day, the internet is flooded with even more of this type of content, and that presents a problem for AI.
