#2This is called product-channel fit. It's great the writer recognized how to capture the demand from a new acquisition channel.

Exactly! It is definitely a weird new way of discovering a market need or opportunity. Yet it actually makes a lot of sense this would happen since one of the main strengths of LLMs is to 'see' patterns in large masses of data, and often, those patterns would not have yet been noticed by humans.
And in this case, OP didn't have to take ChatGPT's word for the existence of the pattern, it showed up on their (digital) doorstep in the form of people taking action based on ChatGPT's incorrect information.
So, pattern noticed and surfaced by an LLM as a hallucination, people take action on the "info", nonzero market demand validated, vendor adds feature.
Unless the phantom feature is very costly to implement, seems like the right response.

#6> Should we really be developing features in response to misinformation?
Creating the feature means it's no longer misinformation.
The bigger issue isn't that ChatGPT produces misinformation - it's that it takes less effort to update reality to match ChatGPT than it takes to update ChatGPT to match reality. Expect to see even more of this as we match toward accepting ChatGPT's reality over other sources.

#8Can this sheet-music scanner also expand works so they don't contain loops, essentially removing all repeat-signs?

#9Pretty goofy but I wonder if LLM code editors could start tallying which methods are hallucinated most often by library. A bad LSP setup would create a lot of noise though.

#10I find it amusing that it's easier to ship a new feature than to get OpenAI to patch ChatGPT to stop pretending that feature exists (not sure how they would even do that, beyond blocking all mentions of SoundSlice entirely.)
