OpenCage 👉🌍Feb 23, 2023

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 I'm sorry I'm laughing, but this just goes to show that the stochastic parrot has nothing to do with intelligence!

@atlefren @opencage I assume that the many errors happen because the people concerned consistently ignore the repeated openai.com-instructions such as
a) "May occasionally generate incorrect information"
b) "May occasionally produce harmful instructions or biased content"
c) "Limited knowledge of world and events after 2021".
What surprises me is that people like to blame ChatGPT for these errors :-|.

@nmouplus @atlefren @opencage That first caveat should read "may occasionally generate correct information"
