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.
@opencage @anildash I feel like the YouTube videos are a human version of the ChatGPT problem
You make money on YT by getting views, so you make videos based on stuff people search for, so you make videos about impossible things like geolocating anyone’s phone (either out of ignorance and/or because wildly inaccurate videos still get you paid). The final step of “so a large language model slurps up and regurgitates your nonsense” is just the icing on the cake of bad incentives all the way down
