My dad cited inaccurate information because of ChatGPT (eviltoast.org)

I run a small VPS host and rely on PayPal for payments, mainly because (a) most VPS customers pay that way if you aren't AWS or GoDaddy and (b) very good fraud protection. My prior venture had quite a bit of chargebacks from Stripe so it went PP-only also.

My dad told me I should "reduce the processing fees" and inaccurately cited that ChatGPT told him PayPal has 5% fees when it really has 3-3.5% fees (plus 49 cents). Yet he insisted 5% was the charge.

Yes, PayPal sucks but ChatGPT sucks even more. When I was a child he said Toontown would ruin my brain, yet LLMs are ruining his even more.

No, if he cited inaccurate information it was because he didn't check it. Same as if he cited something he heard from a guy on the bus.

I think there's some shared blame. Chatgpt existing and marketing itself as useful makes people believe it. If you have to double check everything it says, what is the point of using it in the first place? This isn't unsolicited information from someone you're chatting to that came up naturally and should be checked, this is something you have to specifically choose to use.

And Google throw it in your face and you have to be very careful about. For years when you Google something the first thing would be a snipped from a website, so if you Google "PayPal fee" it would show a snipped from a website mentioning a PayPal fee, but now the result in the same place and in the same style is a LLM response.

Yeah it's definitely a good reason to just ditch google altogether now.
