We wrote a blog post about our on-going nightmare: ChatGPT recommends us for a service we don't provide.

Dozens of people are signing up to our site every day and then getting frustrated when "it doesn't work". Hugely frustrating.

Please do NOT trust the nonsense ChatGPT spits out.

Don't believe ChatGPT - we do NOT offer a "phone lookup" service

TL;DR ChatGPT claims we offer an API to turn a mobile phone number into the location of the phone. We do not.

@opencage @NewtonMark There is only one way out of here... To make such a service!

(Note that I'm a happy official API user of opencagedata)

@mavetju @NewtonMark Setting aside technical difficulties, do you think an API where anyone could at all times track the location of your mobile phone would be a good idea? Do you see any potential for abuse?
