Marconi Peppers/Issues in Giant Marconi Sweet Peppers

My new favorite sweet pepper to grow at home is the hybrid Italian variety, 'Giant Marconi' (Capsicum annuum 'Giant Marconi'). It's one of the largest of the Italian sweet peppers and has an oblong profile with a slightly lobed stem end. The fruits reach 6-8 inches or more in length.

I planted Marconi and California Wonder peppers and are growing like crazy but the issue I have with these two plants is that where the flowers would normally appear for the peppers what is growing is fuzzy looking pepper shaped things, it's not solid nut fuzzy fury looking things.

Oh gosh. I'm so sorry to report that those aren't peppers. 🫤
I think it's an Amaranth of some sort. Some varieties are grown for grain, some for their edible leaves, some as ornamentals, and others are considered weeds. Are your other peppers doing well, I hope?
