That sounds precisely like the kind of thing that a chatbot would have no way to know had happened, and exactly the kind of thing it would hallucinate about.

(neologism, politics) A small group of ultrawealthy men who exert inordinate control or influence within a political structure, particularly while espousing views regarded as anti-democratic, technofascist, and masculinist.
The shit is hitting the fan at such a high rate that it can be difficult to keep up. So this is a place to share such news.

It depends on how the tweaking is done. If it is done by poising it's training data, that would be obvious to a system that has unfettered access to the internet. There are not many ways to do this, and the only othera i can imagine is context poising and response filters. The later is invisible to the AI

You are vastly overestimating the sophistication and reasoning level of modern LLMs.
If they tweaked the hidden prompting, then maybe it could have figured it out and reported it to people. That would honestly be kind of funny. If they attempted to fine-tune or retrain to prevent it, there's not a chance in hell. Actually, there's a pretty good chance I think that they did the former, in which case maybe the LLM is able to see and report to users, but that's a little unusual (I haven't really heard of them exposing their secret prompting in conversation like that, although being tricked into regurgitating it completely is obviously possible.)
