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.

A colleague said 'let's get ChatGPT to recommend some papers!' today, so I got them to open the page and ask it for ten papers about fish (because, hey, why not).
It duly generated a list of papers.
'See?' the colleague said. 'It worked. They have URLs and everything.'
We checked the links. Almost all of them were 404s. Of the one that wasn't, it went to a paper with an unrelated title, author and subject. My colleague was not just dismayed at this, but apparently quite shocked.
