ChatGPT very convincingly recommends us for a service we don't provide. Dozens of people are signing up to our site every day, then getting frustrated when "it doesn't work". Please do NOT trust the nonsense ChatGPT spits out.

A new market opportunity for your company?

have you been able to contact OpenAI about this? It sounds like they're actively adding load to your CS ops with this

Because ChatGPT is so new, we are in this weird period where people haven't learned that is just as incorrect as the rest of us.

I am hoping that in a year from now people will be more skeptical of what they hear from conversational AI. But perhaps that is optimistic of me.

what are they going to do? add custom logic? where does it stop?

the malady is that LLMs cannot do operational adhoc changes such as these kinds of errors at scale

lol it recommended their api and gave python code for using it but the real api doesnt give results that the user asked ChatGPT for that is amusingly alarming

Not quite as alarming as these people most likely trying to stalk someone without their permission.
